Manipur: Dead ‘Militant’ Returns Home

In a stunning incident, a man who was presumed dead after he failed to return ever since he went missing in 2010 suddenly turned up but was arrested by police on the charges of being a cadre of an underground outfit. The man identified as Nongmaithem Shyam Singh, 51 under Lamlai Police Station, Imphal East district was supposedly taken away by militants and engaged in their services.

Family members of the man had already solemnized his last rites assuming that he died in an encounter with security forces. Meanwhile, Shyam was arrested by a team of Imphal East District Police Commando from his residence on May 19 and handed over to Lamlai Police Station on May 20. After a case was registered against him by the police, he was produced before the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate/Imphal East. The court remanded him to police custody till May 27. As the period of the remand has ended, he was again produced before the court today wherein he pleaded to grant him bail. Admitting his plea, the court granted him bail after conducting hearing of the case. (Courtesy of northeasttoday.in)
