Protesting against the killing of Ahanthem Amujao alias Suranjoy (17) of Sawombung Gate Maning Leikai under Lamlai Police Station, people of the locality staged a Wakat Meepham today.
Police claimed that Amujao was killed by Imphal West Police Commandos during a shoot out at Khuman Lampak Palli at around 9.30 pm on January 27 last.
Out of the three armed persons involved in the shoot out, two managed to escape while Amujao was killed and one pistol and a hand grenade were recovered from his possession.
However, the family members have refuted the police claim, asserting that Amujao was an innocent person and there were tale-tell signs of torture marks all over his body.
