Imphal, June 20: A separate security system by establishing Special Investigation Unit (SIU) only for Women and child to deal all form of crime against women and child including DNA testing centre must be set up in the state at the earliest, said Sobita Mangsatabam, Convenor, Women Committee, United NGOs Mission Manipur (UNMM).
Speaking to the media persons during a press conference held at the office of UNNM, Convenor Sobita Mangsatabam said that even though missing case of women or Minor girl has been reported to the concern police department no proper initiative have been taken up so far. She said missing report cases on women since 2005 to 2016 has reached 467 including the lifeless body of Elangbam Kanon Devi which was recovered yesterday from Thoubal Canal near Thoubal Police station.
When a dead body is recovered, no local MLAs have visited the crime scene personally where they could have directed the officer in charge to solve the cases at the earliest, she added.
Sobita also said that due to unavailability of DNA test centre in the state, most of the crime occurred against women and child could not be bought into justice as report of DNA test takes long time to arrive from the other state. Forensic science department located at Pangei seems so week that they even took time to solve different cases, she added.
