Imphal, February 19 2009:
The NSCN (K) has also strongly condemned the dastardly killing of the SDO of Kasom Khullen and his two subordinate staff and added that it has started investigating the matter.
Speaking to The Sangai Express, Section Officer of the Shepoumaramth region of the NSCN (K), Ministry of Information and Publicity S Pao today said that the outfit strongly condemns the inhuman killing and added that it is seriously probing the case.
Coming out strongly against the killing, S Pao questioned why the three men, who were abducted from Ukhrul district headquarters, were brought to Senapati and bludgeoned to death.
This was nothing but to sow the seeds of suspicion and hatred amongst the people, he maintained.
Stating that the NSCN (K) has taken a serious view of the matter, S Pao said that the investigation is nearing its completion and added that all those involved in the dastardly crime will not be spared.
It is well known that only the NSCN (IM) has a strong presence in Ukhrul, he observed and added that the identities of those involved in the killing will be revealed within a few days time.
Asserting that the NSCN (K) is for harmonious relationship with every community, S Pao said that the outfit shares the grief and pain of the bereaved family members and prays for the departed souls.
