The Working Committee of the Apunba Lup organized a sit in protest demanding justice for Th Rabina and Ch. Sanjit today at Keishampat Yumjao Lairembi Community hall.
Speaking to media persons, Phunindro Konsam- Co-convener of the Apunba Lup said that after the confession of Manipur Police head constable Herojit who was the main accused in the Khwairamband fake encounter in which Rabina and Sanjit were killed, the whole story has changed. Following Herojit’s confessions of killing unarmed Sanjit, the most important question that has started to increase in crescendo is: who killed Rabina?
Head constable Herojit had failed to attend the court on 8 February as he could not prepare some documents that had to be submitted to the court. But on February 20 even the news media has published about the assurance given by Herojit about his appearance for the next hearing, and the much anticipated legal proceedings could not be held as the judge was sent on an official tour to Tamenglong, a move seen by many as an intentional attempt to delay and derail the proceedings. The incident also raised doubts about the sincerity of the state government and spawned conspiracy theories.
He further added that the working committee of the Apunba Lup will submit memorandums to the UN and Union Home Minister regarding the speedy investigation and is ready to organize various agitations including a people’s convention at Lamyanba Sanglen on 26 of this month.
