IMPHAL, March 4 NNN: A minor skirmish occurred today in the complex of Sessions Judge, Manipur West district during production of rape accused Latjanthai Malangmei in the court.
Malangmei and his colleague Kamei Dibonpou, both cadres of Zeliangrong United Front (ZUF) reportedly deserted the underground organisation on October 5, 2012 and later allegedly raped four minor girls on that day at Tousengjang village in Tamenglong district. However, Kamei committed suicide the same day after the rape.The rape victims are aged 14 – 16.
On Monday, a large crowd, including the families of the victims hurried to the court complex following the news of his appearance in the court received.There, the irate people anxiously waited for him and as soon as Malangmei arrived in the court complex with tight security arrangement, they spat on his face and hit him with sticks.
The police, however, managed to control the crowd and then the accused was presented before the court. But, the police faced difficulties while taking him out of the court room after the hearing as the crowd again attacked the accused with stones.
The Rongmei Lu Phuam (RLP) and Naga Women’s Union (NWU) on Monday submitted copies of a joint memorandum to both Deputy Chief Minister Gaikhangam and Imphal West sessions Court Judge demanding deliverance of prompt justice in the rape case.
Meanwhile, another two rape accused of a separate incident—Yumnam William and Thongam Tarun were also produced before the Sessions Judge, Manipur East on Monday. The accused pleaded not guilty.
The contents of the charges read over and explained to the accused and asked them whether they should plead to the said charges or claim to be tried. The duo pleaded not guilty and claimed to be tried. Earlier in the hearing, the Judge directed that they should be tried by this court on the said charges.
William and Tarun are co- accused in the rape case of a standard XII student of TG Higher Secondary School, Imphal.The duo allegedly sexually assaulted a girl in a restaurant at Tiddim road near Imphal Airport on October 20, 2012.

The whole world will hear the voice of the lone fighter from Manipur. Irom Chanu Sharmila is in Delhi as she is required to present before a court in Delhi. She has been fasting demanding lifting of armed forces special powers act from Manipur. The lone dissenter’s voice is becoming louder. She had been honoured with various international awards in recognition of her courage and will power. She is unrelenting. She has expressed the confidence that the Union Government will repeal the act. If the Union Government refuses to act as per her wishes a negative message will be sent. Moreover the question is being asked why Manipur in particular and NE at large should be reduced to receptacle of such deadly, diabolic and useless act when other states having similar insurgency or terrorist related problems do not see imposition of such act. Just recently two powerful bomb blasts rocked Hyderabad killing large number of people and injuring three figures. It could not be ascertained who were behind the bomb blast. But Andhra Pradesh was not brought under the AFSPA. A commission too had been formed in the past that recommended softening of the act. It is said Indian army is insisting that the act should remain where it is. But India is a democratic country if the Government cannot act as per the wishes and expectation of the masses where the sovereignty of the people lies. This question was asked by Sharmila. Manipur being a border state will require the service of the Indian army to check intrusion of unwanted elements from the other side of the boundary. Army can be scattered all along the border areas, where it is considered problematic. They can stay at the town area also but minus AFSPA. The state police is performing wonderful job in dealing with insurgency. They do not say they require an act to cover their operation against the elements detrimental to the well being of the society. AFSPA cannot provide security to the wrong doers. But the Indian army is insisting on imposition of this useless act. Show the generosity and decide to go together with the masses. AFSPA has acted as a thorn in the heart. It needs to be removed. Should the Government wait for the Indian army to dictate the time has come for removing the thorn. That will mean, biggest democracy in the world functioning under the army. India is different from Pakistan and Myanmar where military have their sway be it in laying down policies and functioning of the Government. Consider Sharmila’s demand seriously and attempt to fulfil her wishes. We want to see the return of the day when she sits together with her family members and relish the food with her own hand. When will that day arrive, this question is being asked. We are confident the Union Government will hear the feeble voice of the defiant lady, which has become louder and lift the act. Delay in lifting the act will be dangerous. Manipur people are closely monitoring Sharmila’s Delhi visit. Let she return home with beaming smile on lip.
