Served Country, Couldn’t Protect Wife…”: Ex-Soldier On Manipur Video

Imphal: 

The husband of one of two women paraded naked and molested by a group of men in Manipur is a Kargil war veteran. He rued that though he protected the country, he could not save his wife from being humiliated.

At a press conference in state capital Imphal, he raised a serious question on the role of the Manipur Police, alleging his wife and others were taken away by the mob from a police vehicle and the cops did not resist.

The husband served the Indian Army as a Subedar of the Assam Regiment.

I fought for the nation in the Kargil war and was also in Sri Lanka as part of the Indian Peace Keeping Force. I protected the nation but am dejected that after my retirement, I could not protect my home, my wife and fellow villagers. I am sad, depressed,” he said.

“Police were present but took no action. I want that all those people who burnt the houses and humiliated the women get exemplary punishment,” he said.

Post a comment“Here, the majority community has always kept the minority communities like us oppressed. We cannot no longer stay with other community. Government now should find out a permanent solution,” he added.
