Kohima, June 23 (Mexn): The Upper Agri Women’s Society, Kohima has vehemently condemned the alleged “attempt to rape” of a minor girl by one Dilip Pradhan, a retired Government employee on May 31.
It is even more shocking that the shameful act was committed to a minor by a person old enough to be a grandfather, the society President Achü.M.Dzüvichü and General Secretary Shetoli Tungo stated in a press note.
“Such acts of mala-fide intent do not have a place in a civilized society.”
It further appealed all right thinking citizens to condemn the act and asked the law enforcing agencies to dispense with speedy justice.
“We offer our unflinching support to the victim and family members and also pray that such incidents which damage our society are done away for good,”it added.
Meanwhile, the Society further pointed out that the accused will no longer be granted residency in the colony and anyone who gives him shelter will be doing so at their own risk.
It also requested the colony residents hailing from outside to co-operate with the efforts of the local bodies to maintain a safe social atmosphere for all.
Non-cooperation is a hindrance to justice and the society will not be responsible in future for those who prefers to remain outside the norms of the colony guidelines, it maintained.
