Imphal, Sept 15: The activists of North-East Forum for International Solidarity (NEFIS) had submitted a memorandum to Manipur Chief Minsiter through the Resident Commissioner in Delhi, seeking his immediate intervention in the case of the death of a Manipuri youth, Pravish Chanam who had been missing since 8th September. He had come to Delhi on a visit and had been residing in Safdarjung, Delhi with his friends.
A statement of the NEFIS said, “On  September 8, he went to Knowledge Park to attend a music concert with his friends and was missing after the concert. It has been reported that he was taken in an injured condition to Bhim Rao Ambedkar Hopspital around 10:30 pm, where he was given first-aid by a doctor. It is not known that whether after first-aid he was discharged or forcibly taken away. The next day, early in the morning, a call was received by the PCR of an injured person in Sector-30 Market. The PCR personnel took the injured youth, Pravish to Bhim Rao Ambedkar Hospital, where he subsequently died. It should be known that a complaint  in connection to his disappearance was logded at Knowledge Park Police Station, Gautam Budh Nagar on 9th September”.
The NEFIS statement alleged Delhi police of gross negligence in the whole matter. It said despite the complaint being lodged on 9th September, the ‘Person Missing’ Pamphlets were issued two days later. Despite the fact that the matter was being pursued by the police of one station, police chowki personnel did not inform the station of an unclaimed deadbody. Moreover, when the deceased’s friends went to Nithari Police Station which is just opposite to the Bhim Rao Ambedkar Hospital day before yesterday, to inquire about him, they were brusquely turned out by the police chowki personnel. It was found out today that the body of the deceased was cremated by the police chowki yesterday itself, since it had been lying unclaimed for 72 hours. Clearly, it strongly suggests that Nithari police chowki personnel had in connivance with criminals disposed off the body instead of informing the Knowledge Park Police Station where the matter was being investigated, the statement added
The demands in the memorandum submitted to the Manipur CM are given below:
1.The Manipur Government should immediately intervene and demand a CBI inquiry into the case.
2.The inquiry should especially probe the nexus between the criminals, police and hospital authorities to destroy the evidences related to Pravish’s death.
3. The government should write to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister to immediately suspend the Investigating Officer, Knowledge Park Police SHO and Nithari chowki incharge for gross negligence in the case.
