NJVC condemns raid by 25 Assam Rifles

New Jalukie Village Council (NJVC) has strongly condemned the “unlawful activities” of 25th Assam Riffles, Jalukie, Athibung unit under Peren district on September 29, around 1:30 am, wherein, the search operation team along with one police personnel raided the residence of Village Developmental Board (VDB) secretary, Belief Gonmei “on the pretext of search operation for arms and ammunitions.”
In a press release, NJVC chairman, Liangkebo and secretary, Akungbo claimed that the operation team ransacked the household and public properties and left them scattered. NJVC claimed that “their futile exercise” did not find illegal possession at the residence of the public servant and made him sign a No Objection Certificate (NOC) in the presence of his neighbour as witness.
“It is a shameful act of the security personnel and also a harassment to the innocent family members” NJVC stated.
The village council also expressed dismay over the high-handedness of the Assam Rifles towards innocent individuals and for creating havoc among law-abiding people of the village. Further, NJVC warned AR personnel not to repeat such activities in the village without the consent of the village authority.
