Soraisham Joy alias Dajoy (37) of Sagoltongba Lanshonbi village was picked up by a team of 12 Maratha Light Infantry attached to Patsoi police station at about 5.30 pm of January 25 when Joy was cooking food in his house.
Quoting media reports published on January 26, the villagers conveyed about the security force alleging that Joy was a KYKL cadre and he was arrested from Nambol Bazar and that he had been handed over to Nambol police station.
