Imphal, February 24 2009:
The Revolutionary People's Front (RPF) in a press release today, denied the statement of the IOF and Manipur Police about the arrest of three cadre of the revolutionary group from Dhobinala of Dimapur which was published in the local dailies on February 24. The underground group said that there are no records of Private Dainichandra (30), Son of Hembabu from Imphal West, Private Asem Lukhoi (40), Son of Gouro from Thoubal and over ground Shyam (42), Son of Babudhon from Thoubal, in the group and they were civilians.
Claiming the statement as baseless, the UG group stated that the statement is propaganda of the IOF and is a solid example of the security forces suppressing the people of the state.
The three arrested persons had claimed before the media that they were artist and shopkeepers and they were arrested on February 19 at around 10.30 pm in the night.
The statement further alleged the IOF and state police personnel for arresting and killing innocent lives in and outside the state for their promotion and reward.
Cautioning against such acts of the security forces, the UG group appealed the people of the state to fight against the merciless law of the country.
