IMPHAL | Sept 25

Chief minister N. Biren Singh today met Uttar Pradesh chief minister, Adityanath Yogi and discussed about the controversial death of Pravish Chanam on September 9 in Noida.

During the meeting Biren reportedly submitted findings of the investigation into Pravish’s death conducted by ADG Manipur police, Pramod Asthana, to Yogi before urging him to take necessary action accordingly.

In response, the UP CM reportedly assured Biren that his (Yogi’s) government will take up possible measure at the earliest to ensure justice is delivered in the case.

It has been informed that Biren also suggested Yogi to hand over the case to an independent body if necessary.

Pravish Chanam, (22) went missing from a concert in Noida on the night of September 8 and his family lodged a missing person’s report the next day (September 9) at Knowledge Park police station.

Despite the police complaint Pravish body was cremated on September 13 after it was recovered from Nitihari allegedly without informing the family.

On September 18, Manipur chief minister N. Biren Singh sent the state’s additional director-general of police (intelligence) Pramod Asthana to Noida to get “factual information” on the case.
