Saying that they were ordered by 'higher authority' to beat Thenkhomang and Ngamkhai, the KNA cadres thrashed the duo most brutally using firewood.
As they sustained severe injuries, Thenkhomang and Ngamkhai were admitted in KCC Hospital at Deulahland the next day.
The KNA cadres also threatened to kill one Daniel Gangte of Leishan Tengnoupal village at the first available opportunity, the duo disclosed.
Questioning whether SoO ground rules permit attack on village chiefs, they said that the villagers have been suffering because of the excesses committed by KNA cadres.
The villagers are caught in precarious situation.
For their daily activities of earning livelihood, the villagers of Leishan cannot skirt T Bongmol village but the villagers are terrified to go pass T Bongmol because of KNA cadres, they said.They further sought attention of authority concerned to remove KNA cadres from T Bongmol village and also to take up necessary actions.
The village chief went on to threaten that all sorts of agitation would be launched in case KNA cadres are not drive off from T Bongmol village within a week.
