Imphal, Jun 13:
Following the failure of Head of Department of RIMS Forensic Department Prof H Nabachandra to appear before the Rajkhowa Commission of Inquiry, despite a notice being served earlie, the Commission has today asked RIMS Director Prof Fimate and Dr H Nabachandra to appear before the probe panel at 10.30 am of June 15.It is reported that Prof Fimate denied permission to Dr Nabachandra to appear before the probe panel.
Dr Nabachandra has been summoned to record his statements as he was involved in the medical examination of Maibam Naobi at RIMS after she was freed from the custody of Thoubal police.
On the other hand, the Commission headed by retired Calcutta High Court Judge SP Rajkhowa today recorded statements of two commando personnel involved in the arrest of Naobi.
It may be mentioned here that five Thoubal police commandos including ASI L Chaoba have been put under suspension following massive protest against the alleged sexual harassment and torture of Naobi while in the custody of Thoubal police.
The two commando personnel Md Nazir Ahmed (driver) and Kh Joseph were cross-examined by the counsel appearing on behalf of the victim.
ASI Chaoba when examined yesterday rejected the allegation of sexual harassment and torture of Naobi contrary to her statement published in media.
So far the probe panel has examined Naobi Chanu, her mother, younger sister of slain PLA cadre Bikash and a member of Khangabok Gram Panchayat.
