MNS: Naga Women’s Union (NWU) has condemned crimes and violence against humanity. Rape cases, torture and killing have become almost a daily occurrence in our society which have shocked and appalled us all said a NWU press hand out. NWU denounced the merciless killing of two innocent hunters of Kongkan village area under Kamjong sub-division of Ukhrul District by the UNLF on 28 December 2012, the brutal killing of Laishram Ibohanbi by the miscreants at Hatta Village near Finch Corner in Ukhrul District on 29 December 2012, the abduction of Shankarlal Swamy (59) from Kangla and subsequent murder on 3 January 2013 by the three miscreants including two IRB personnel and one driver by profession and Gongsingam Dangmei (18 years) former ZUF cadre s/o Gonbi Dangmei of Longmai (Noney) Bazar who was killed by 10 Assam Rifles in the evening of 30 December 2012 at Sangji Village.
NWU condemned the beastly act of rape of a minor girl, 4 years and two months by one Soren Raju, from Jharkhand who is a JCB driver working for a local contractor along Maram – Peren road near Tamphung Village on 25 December 2012 evening on the pretext of taking her for a walk. Another rape victim a young housewife who was allegedly raped by her neighbour at Thoubal District locality on 28 December 2012 and the alleged victimization of the victim by the police remanding her in the police custody.
All these unfortunate happenings are attacking the very fabric of our society. Apart from the failure of parents in parenting of their children which have led to worse situation of moral degradation, the present state government has also miserably failed to maintain law and order that is a matter of great concern now.
NWU extends its solidarity to all the victims’ families of these heinous crimes and demands to deliver fair justice to the victims’ families.
The Naga Women Community raises its voice against the police officer in-charge of Khoupum Police Station for not filing its charge sheet to the court till today against the accused Latjanthai Kamei who was arrested and jailed in Sajiwa Jail for kidnaping, gang-raped and attempted murder of four minor school girls of Khoupum Don Bosco School on 5 October 2012. In the Delhi gang rape case of a 23 years old, paramedical student, Delhi police has filed its charge sheet in a court against the five men arrested in the case within 18 days. Stern action against the police officer in-charge of the Khoupum police station should be taken by the government immediately for failing his due responsibility by not filing charge sheet against the offenders even after three months now.
