Several people staged a sit-in-protest at Telipati, Imphal East on Saturday, demanding the authorities concerned to immediately book the culprits involved in the killing of one Sailendra Saha by armed miscreants in Imphal East.
Sailendra was shot dead by unidentified armed miscrenats at Uchol Chingjin located along Andro-Ngariyan road at a distance of 5 km from Andro Police station in Imphal East around 4 pm Friday, police said.
One Rajesh Sahu, a protester, told the media that Sailendra did not have enmities with any individual or received monetary demands from any individual or groups.
“Sailendra was the sole breadwinner of the family. Who will look after the family members including the three daughters now?” he questioned.
Those miscreants behind the incident should clarify why Sailendra was killed, he added.
