Imphal, July 27: Reacting to the allegations of the Apunba Nupi Lup of Luwangshangbam, the proscribed KYKL today said that the proprietor of Mamta Restaurant, Langam Umakanta was awarded the capital punishment on July 18 as he was using his restaurant to allow youngsters to indulge in immoral activities.

In a statement, the outfit said that Umakanta was killed after verifying facts and not on any flimsy ground.

Detailing, KYKL said that on the fateful day, two cadres of the SOG went to the restaurant posing as customers and asked Umakanta if two rooms may be provided with privacy.

At this Umakanta replied that there was only one room available and asked them to wait for some time if they wanted two rooms with privacy.

While the conversation was going one of the cadres managed to peep inside the room which was occupied, said the statement and added that inside the room he saw a young man and a young woman in a compromising position.

This message was conveyed to his other companion, said KYKL and added that the second cadre also peeped inside the room and confirmed what the former had just seen.

The two cadres then contacted their commander on the next course of action to be taken and in accordance with the earlier decision taken by KYKL, the commander asked them to award Umakanta the capital punishment, said the statement.

It is unfortunate that the Apunba Nupi Lup of Luwangshangbam still refuses to believe that there were curtains inside the Mamta restaurant.

KYKL took up the extreme course of action only after verifying the facts and countered whether the members of the Apunba Nupi Lup kept any daily watch over the restaurant.

If this is the case then why weren't there any members of the Nupi Lup when the two KYKL cadres checked the restaurant.

Making it clear that KYKL can never accept the allegations that Umakanta was innocent and that what the outfit had done was wrong, the statement said that it would be highly unfortunate if the women folks are acting at the behest of anyone to tarnish the image of the outfit.
