IMPHAL, September 4: A man has today charged an organisation based in Lilong Bazar of kidnapping his son who is a police constable for a ransom amount of Rs 3 lakhs.
Speaking to media persons today at the Manipur Press Club, Basir Ahmad said his son who is a police constable had left home for his duty at the Nilakuthi police out-post on August 13.
However, the same day, he was kidnapped by the organisation from Lilong Bazar, Basir claimed.
He said a written complaint was submitted to the Lilong Police OC on August 30 and a Thoubal magistrate had ordered police action against the organisation.
However, the Home department has decided to remain silent till date on the matter involving a personnel of their own, he lamented.
Basir said soon after being informed of his son`™s abduction, he had gone to meet members of the organisation the next day but they told him to bring Rs 3 lakhs.
He said no charges including that of drugs or robbery are levelled against his son, nonetheless the organisation had demanded the amount in exchange for his son.
When he denied them that his poor family couldn`™t afford such a huge amount, the organisation charged his son with unrelated cases, he claimed.
However, if he is involved in any such cases, why have they failed to hand over his son to the police, he questioned.
Basir also charged that the organisation made him listen to his son being tortured on the phone.
Even though it has been more than 20 days, the police including the OC Lilong have decided to remain silent and failed to take any legal action, he claimed.
He demanded whether there was a hidden nexus between the police and the organisation to share the ransom amount.
He claimed the organisation which was set up for the good of the society by the people has today been reduced to an anti-social element and in such a situation if the people arise against it, the government should he held responsible.
