Magisterial inquiry constituted to find if there was some hidden agenda in mob attack on police on February 15: Manipur CM
N Biren Singh said that magisterial inquiry is constituted to find if there is some hidden agenda in the mob attack on the Deputy commissioner and Superintendent of police office on February 15. Singh said the police will book a Churachandpur MLA on charges of inciting in the district.
Two people were killed and over 40 injured when security forces fired at a mob that stormed a government compound which has offices of the police superintendent and district collector late on Thursday.
Singh, without disclosing the identity of the MLA, stated he posted a controversial statement on X (formerly Twitter) barely an hour before the latest violence broke out in Churachandpur.
Biren Singh further said that FIR will be lodged against individuals and organisations including the Indigenous Tribal Leaders Forum (ITLF) for ‘conspiring’ against district officials in Churachandpur.
Mobs of 300-400 attempted to storm Churachandpur SP office in Manipur. People were miffed that a departmental inquiry is being contemplated against Siamlalpaul of Churachandpur district police following a video clip showing him making a video with armed men on February 14.
The Indigenous Tribal Leaders Forum (ITLF), an umbrella group of Churachandpur’s tribal bodies, said in a statement that the head constable was swiftly suspended while no action was taken against Meitei police officers seen in similar videos with militants. It called for a shutdown in Churachandpur and asked police superintendent Shivanand Surve to leave the hill district within
