A committee secretary said, “The government has failed to solve the killings. As announced earlier we will continue to block the Mayai Lambi from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. indefinitely”.
The blockade of the Mayai Lambi inter-district road demanding the booking of the killers who shot dead two persons on January 9 night continues as the police have failed to arrest and book the culprits, said Y. Rabi, secretary of the action committee formed to demand justice for the victims.
Chief Minister Nongthombam Biren Singh holding the Home portfolio had reportedly declined to meet the committee representatives on January 12 night after expiry of the deadline set by the committee.
It may be recalled that unknown gunmen shot dead police commando Abujam Tomba (47) and his cousin Abujam John (57) a worker of Minister O. Lukhoi representing the Wangoi constituency on January 9 night. Mr. Biren and others who visited the houses of the victims at Samurou said that it was an attack to the BJP members.
