The Joint Action Committee Against the brutal killing of Takhellambam Rakesh will not accept the body until the government or concerned authorities book the culprits involved in the incident.
Decrying the unnatural death of Rakesh, Yaiskul Women’s Association, which was formed by eight localities of the Yaiskul area, staged a sit-in-protest at Yaiskul, Imphal West on Sunday.
Working president of the association, RK Ibechoubi told the media that as per knowledge of the locality, Rakesh was a good person to the society. If there was any misunderstanding with any individual or organisation, the local club or Meira Paibis should have been informed instead of killing him, she said.
The locality and the near and dear ones of Rakesh do not believe that he would commit suicide and leave his family. The state government or the concerned authorities should investigate the case thoroughly to find out the cause of the death of Rakesh, the president said.
