The Wangkhem Youth Club has urged the Manipur Police to clarify the residential address of Sh. Kananbala @ Dhaneshwori, aged 41, who has been identified by the police as being involved in the murder of Khaidem Ongbi Chaoba Devi of Wangoi. The police had reportedly stated that the accused is from Yairipok Wangkhem, a claim that has caused confusion among the local residents.
In a written memorandum submitted to the Yairipok Police Station signed by S. Premchandra, Secretary of the Wangkhem Youth Club, highlighted that a Facebook post on the official Manipur Police page dated December 28 incorrectly listed the fourth accused, Sh. Kananbala @ Dhaneshwori, as a resident of Yairipok Wangkhem.
The memorandum stated that this misinformation has created confusion among villagers and negatively affected the reputation of the village. After conducting its own investigation, the Youth Club confirmed that the accused is not from Yairipok Wangkhem. The Club has urged the authorities to provide the correct address to prevent further confusion.
The Wangkhem Youth Club also strongly condemned the murder of Khaidem Ongbi Chaoba Devi, expressing grief over her death.
