Imphal, April 1 (NNN): An IED blast took place in the residence of a FCS Transport Contractor on Tuesday evening.
The victim to this latest bomb scare is Th Dojendro (48), son of late Maimu of Kiyamgei Maning Leikai Lairam Wangma. He is an FCS contractor. The IED was fitted in the Ecosport car of Dojendro, which was parked at the gate of his residence. The IED blasted at around7.30 pm last night and caused huge damage to the front portion of the car. However, no casualties have been reported.
CCTV footage fitted in the entrance of the contractor`™s home showed one cap and track-pant wearing unidentified man placing the IED under the car, just minutes prior to the blast.
Today, a sit-in-protest condemning the blast was held at the Lairam Wangma Community Hall by the members of All Kiyamgei Nupi Chaokhat Lup and Young Pioneer Club. Members present there strongly condemned the act of terrorising in residential areas.
Contractor Dojendro told mediapersons there was no any personal threats to him from any organisation or outfits. He added that if anyone has any issues with him, they should contact him directly and deal with him, but appealed not to resort to such cowardly act of terrorising people.
