On Wednesday, the JAC submitted a four-point memorandum to the chief minister demanding to initiate a judicial inquiry against sub-inspector Jitendro and others allegedly involved in the death of Nanao. The memorandum also demanded that the police should disclose the identity of the person who lodged a complaint against Nanao at the police station. It also demanded that the government should provide a government job to the wife of the deceased so that she could take care of their three children, and warned the state government that the victim’s family and the JAC will not accept the body if the government fails to fulfil the demands.

It may be mentioned that Arambam Nanao was allegedly picked up by a police team from his locality in Sagolband Kangabam Leikai under Imphal Police Station in Imphal West on Monday around 9 am, Nanao died at a hospital after he was released the same day. The deceased’s family alleged that police torture led to his death.
