IMPHAL, December 28: The government needs to clarify before the public as to whether the eight skulls recovered from a construction site inside the Tombisana High School are of victims of Armed Forces Special Powers Act, 1958 with proper facts, said Andro MLA Th Shyamkumar during a press conference held today at his official quarter.
There is a wide speculation among the general public that the recovered skeletons and skulls could be of people who had been picked up by the security forces as the old school compound used to camp security forces including commandos and CRPF, he said.
The Andro MLA said that the recovery has also created a wide suspicion among the public as whether similar recoveries could be made from Kangla which used to camp the Assam Rifles and from the CRPF Langjing camp.
Shyamumar further demanded action against the police officers of Imphal West as they had allowed frequent bomb blasts in the heart of the city. He said such violence could be committed only due to negligence of the police officers and personnel posted in Imphal West district.
He also condemned the police personnel involved in the July 23 BT Road killing case.
He further demanded a capable police officer to be handed over the control of the Imphal West and City police and at the same time decried the violence.
He said such violent blasts could be handiwork of only cowards.
