Imphal, June 18: Nine people, including six members of the Meitei radical outfit Arambai Tenggol, have been arrested in connection with the kidnapping and murder of a mentally challenged man whose body was found on the banks of the Nambul River in Manipur.
“During the past 24 hours, six Arambai Tenggol members and three other individuals were arrested in connection with the crime,” a police official said.
A total of five vehicles, including three Gypsies, have been seized in the case. The victim, Chesam Abdul Kadir, 29, a resident of Imphal West district, went missing on June 11.
Kadir, a mentally challenged individual, belonged to the Meitei Pangal (Muslim) community.
The incident has sparked outrage across the state, particularly among the Meitei Pangal community. The Manipur Meitei Pangal Welfare Organisation (MMWO) has strongly condemned the alleged abduction and killing of Abdul Kadir.
