Longmatra Area Gaon Bura Union (LAGBU) has strongly condemned the alleged physical assault by security personnel of 14 IR, E-Coy on August 22 at Kiphire village junction for parking his truck on the road side.
LAGBU president A. Throngethe Sangtam said the association was “disgusted” to learn about the event that unfolded on the said evening as the union did not expect the law enforcing personnel, who were supposed to safeguard the citizens under the area, “to take law in their own hands.”
“Such act of barbaric attack on innocent youth by the military personnel is reprehensible and extremely unacceptable in a civilised society”, it stated.
The union asked the law enforcing agency to book the perpetrators at the earliest and that proper judicial enquiry must be followed as no one is above the law.
PSU: Condemning the alleged physical assault, Pongren Students’ Union (PSU) stated that the “heedless behaviour and savagery” of the personnel cannot be justified in any manner.
PSU president Irothe T. Sangtam stated that the brutal beating to the point of being unconscious was in violation of various provisions of law.
“The jawans who are supposed to protect the citizens have completely failed which undermines and pay no heed to the fundamental rights of citizens as enshrined in the constitution of India”, it said.
Pointing out that the inhuman act by law keeping force was intolerable, PSU said it was “a matter of disgrace to the constitution of the country.”
It further expressed hope that the responsible authority would deliver justice at the earliest.
