Dimapur, June 3 (EMN): The Action Committee Forest Colony Youth Organization (ACFCYO) has strongly condemned the inhumane act of one Bonathung Ezung, son of C. Nrio Ezung of N. Longidang village, who attempted upon the life of one of its bonafide members P. Chumbenthung Ngullie, son of Phyodemo Ngullie of Longla village on May 5.
In a press statement, ACFCYO stated that the incident happened around 2:30 to 3 in the evening as Bonathung Ezung intercepted Chumbenthung Ngullie on his way home and subsequently stabbed him with a dagger injuring him and further threatened to shoot him with pistol, reaching for his waist bag. Taking serious note of the inhuman act, ACFCYO held a consultative meeting and lodged supplementary First Information Report (FIR) stating details urging the concerned police authority to arrest the accused at the earliest to avoid further escalation of the situation. However, ACFCYO said the accused is still absconding even after the deadline has been served to the police authority, to arrest the accused, jointly by the Forest Colony Council, Forest Colony Eloe Ekhung and Forest Colony Youth Organization and for which ACFCYO felt it necessary to initiate further steps to settle the score.
FCYO also informed that it will not bear responsibility for any consequences or eventuality in pursuit of its demand.
Bonathung Ezung being a functionary of NSCN (IM) as Section Officer, Central Wing, and ACFCYO urged the responsible office of the NSCN (IM) to take stern action against him and demanded forceful discharge as he is a habitual offender and tends to negate the image of NSCN (IM), stated the press release.
The organization also stated that no anti-social elements will be tolerated under its jurisdiction and will stand to adhere to peace, social harmony and congenial coexistence. ACFCYO further reaffirms its stand to bring about justice and will not show its back until justice is delivered as per its demand.
