Nimaichand is said to be a retired State Malaria Officer.
The reason behind the placing of the grenade is yet to be ascertained. Meira paibis of Sagolband Meino Leirak, Keishampat Thiyam leikai and Leimajam Leikai attended the sit in protest.
Speaking to media persons one of the woman while decrying the grenade attack said such dangerous act should be condemned by all.
Terrorising the people of the state in the name of revolution is not correct and should not be continued, she added.
