Jalukie, November 8 (MExN): Several Jalukie based organizations have condemned the attempt to rape a minor girl allegedly by one Yihamo Lotha (45) on November 7 in Jalukie Town.
JTWWO: Jalukie Town Women Welfare Organisation (JTWWO) in a statement termed such act “barbaric and heinous” and urged the law enforcing authority to give highest punishment to the accused. Meanwhile, it warned that “any attempt to release, negotiate or bail the case will invite stern action from the women organisation, may it be political, relative or any individual levels.” Asserting that it has zero tolerance against such crime, JTWWO asked the district magistrate to take the case seriously and award exemplary punishment so as to discourage reoccurrences of such crime.
JPN: The Jalukie Pumling Nko (JPN) informed that the victim had a narrow escape. When the accused was about to commit the crime, his cell phone buzzed and the child managed to flee and reported the matter to her parents, JPN stated. While denouncing the act, JPN warned that Jalukie land has no place for person of such “inhuman and evil” mindset. It appealed to the district administration and judiciary to initiate highest action against the accused and urged the law enforcing authority not to entertain any bail plea from any section of people. “Any person trying to show solidarity to the accused will invite unintended actions,” it added. JPN also acknowledged all who intervened immediately in nabbing the accused.
