He also warned the government of various form of agitations along with the CSOs if they failed to give a positive response by December 7.
After the sit in protest, the protesters along with the JAC members thronged the Kakching Police station reiterating the JAC’s demand to arrest the culprits involved.
The JAC members along with former BJP candidate of Khangabok AC And social activist Kh Menjor held talks with police officials. The protesters dispersed from the police station following the assurance from the police concerned.
It may be mentioned that deceased Linthoi @ Nungsitombi from Khangabok was married to Mahesh from Kakching Laithagol Leikai and is survived by a four-year-old son.
Linthoi was brought to Ema Hospital, Kakching bazar on November 30 at around 10am after allegedly consuming pesticide. But she was later referred to Shija Hospitals for further treatment where she succumbed on December 1.
