Dimapur, November 10 (MExN): The Thenyizumi Youth Social & Welfare Organization (TYSWO) Phek today said the investigating agency should not create “legal lacuna and suppression of material evidence” regarding the “degree torture” of a juvenile at the North Police Station Kohima on October 24 and 25.
The 17 year old class 11 student was allegedly tortured by the Duty Officer of the station based on false complaint and allegation lodged by a graduate teacher working under SDEO Chozuba, Phek.
The facts and circumstances leading to the crime are conclusive and there is no room to doubt or any other reason as the circumstances and events clearly point fingers toward the Duty Officer on the false compliant teacher, stated TYSWO President Mohusa Swiho in a press note.
In the backdrop of these developments, the organisation asked that the concerned authority to ensure that trial of concerned “accused persons” are completed with outmost urgency and expedited within the next six months.
It demanded a guarantee that a “befitting punishment” be awarded to all those found guilty of committing the crime.
“No bail be granted and any attempt whatsoever to rescue the culprit will be doing so at his/her own personal risk,” it added.
The TYSWO further asked the authority to notify the public on the action taken and exercise outmost wisdom in considering and fulfilling its demand and deliver justice at the earliest.
