Imphal, Oct. 19: Unidentified assailants shot dead a youth in the Kumbi area of Bishnupur district last night within hours of a nursery student being strangulated to death, allegedly by the slain youth.
The Uripok area in Imphal East district also erupted in anger today after a girl was injured by bullets fired by unidentified persons last night.
Police said trouble broke out after Soram Prabhakaran, 7, the son of a local businessman in Kumbi Bazar, went missing since 1pm yesterday. After five hours, his body was recovered from a bamboo grove, 1km from the market. The boy’s gold earrings and a silver necklace were found missing.
As the residents were holding a meeting in the market at night, they came to know that some people had caught hold of Pukhrambam Mangoljao Singh, 22, suspected to have killed Soram. They rushed to his house at Kangjeibung Mapal on the outskirts of the market.
When they reached there, some unidentified persons dragged Mangoljao away and later shot him dead.
His body was found this morning at Khordak Thongkhong, about 10km from his house.
The police found a note that read: “I am responsible for the murder of the boy. I have accepted the punishment meted out to me.”
In Uripok, the residents today staged a sit-in to protest the firing in the locality at 10.30 pm in which Yurembi Princi, 13, sustained bullet wounds in her left thigh.
