IMPHAL, September 4: A man has today charged an organisation based in Lilong Bazar of kidnapping his son who is a police constable for a ransom amount of Rs 3 lakhs.<\/p>\n
Speaking to media persons today at the Manipur Press Club, Basir Ahmad said his son who is a police constable had left home for his duty at the Nilakuthi police out-post on August 13.<\/p>\n
However, the same day, he was kidnapped by the organisation from Lilong Bazar, Basir claimed.<\/p>\n
He said a written complaint was submitted to the Lilong Police OC on August 30 and a Thoubal magistrate had ordered police action against the organisation.<\/p>\n
However, the Home department has decided to remain silent till date on the matter involving a personnel of their own, he lamented.<\/p>\n
Basir said soon after being informed of his son`\u2122s abduction, he had gone to meet members of the organisation the next day but they told him to bring Rs 3 lakhs.<\/p>\n
He said no charges including that of drugs or robbery are levelled against his son, nonetheless the organisation had demanded the amount in exchange for his son.<\/p>\n
When he denied them that his poor family couldn`\u2122t afford such a huge amount, the organisation charged his son with unrelated cases, he claimed.<\/p>\n
However, if he is involved in any such cases, why have they failed to hand over his son to the police, he questioned.<\/p>\n
Basir also charged that the organisation made him listen to his son being tortured on the phone.<\/p>\n
Even though it has been more than 20 days, the police including the OC Lilong have decided to remain silent and failed to take any legal action, he claimed.<\/p>\n
He demanded whether there was a hidden nexus between the police and the organisation to share the ransom amount.<\/p>\n
He claimed the organisation which was set up for the good of the society by the people has today been reduced to an anti-social element and in such a situation if the people arise against it, the government should he held responsible.<\/p>\n\n
