RPF assault case: RSZ demands non-bailable offence for accused

Tseminyu, February 8 (MExN): With regard to the assault on Senenlo Kath on February 3 at Dimapur Railway Station, the Rengma Selo Zi (youth organisation) today asserted that it will not remain silent until and unless the accused are booked under non-bailable offence.   It also demanded that the service of the personnel of the RPF involved in the crime be terminated immediately as “their continuance in the public service is a great threat in this civilized country.”

  The organisation also questioned the “integrity” of the accused and authority of Railway Protection Force (RPF) for filing counter FIR against the victim who is still in coma in a Guwahati hospital.   In a press release issued by its general secretary, Shatilo Kent and president, Kenneth Rengma, Rengma Selo Zi (RSZ) further questioned the authority concerned as to why the main accused was granted bail from the magistrate under bailable offence when the victim is battling between life and death.   The RSZ appealed for justice to be delivered at the earliest in order to avoid elements that will lead to further complications in the days to come.   According to the release, the victim was attacked for the second time after he was released from the Government Railway Police Station after getting first aid, “which was an act of attempt to murder.”   Meanwhile, RSZ lauded the efforts of the Commissioner of Police Dimapur for initiating and expediting the matter.
