Hmar Youth from Manipur in a Hospital in Delhi after assaulted by Landlord in Munirka, New Delhi
New Delhi, Apr 15 : If men and women from the north-eastern states often do not turn to the police for help when in distress, they would be perfectly justified in doing so, going by the way the case of two siblings from Manipur assaulted in Munirka is progressing.
Two days after the incident, the cops seem to be in no hurry to arrest the main accused, Yudhvir Singh, who is absconding. The six other men who joined in the assault have not even been identified.
The spy camera which was allegedly used by the accused to watch the girl has not been recovered. In fact, the cops seem to be extra keen to rule out that it wasn't 'just a misunderstanding over a CCTV camera'. They say that only after the accused is caught will they be able to recover the camera and clear their doubts.
"Anyway, we have booked him under non-bailable offences," claimed a senior police officer under the condition of anonymity. Despite repeated attempts, DCP (south) HGS Dhaliwal could not be reached for his comments.
The claim of the Manipuri family that they had removed a spy camera a few months back that was directed towards the house carries little weight with the police.
The girl's brother-in-law told TOI: "I had removed one spy camera that was positioned on the light bulb a few months back.
At that time, he had asked for forgiveness saying he had placed it for security purposes – to guard against his AC being stolen. If that was the purpose, I wonder why it was pointed at our house?
We put up a curtain so that even if he placed a camera somewhere else, he won't get to see anything. However, on Tuesday night my sister-in-law found another camera on the balcony of his terrace pointed downwards at our house which was when we warned him again, leading to the assault."
Joint commissioner of police (southern range) Amulya Patnaik told TOI: "We have already registered a case and the accused are on the run.
All legal action will be taken and strict action against the accused will be taken. Delhi Police takes matters related to northeast victims extremely seriously and strict action will be taken in this case as well."
Meanwhile, the brother of the girl is still recuperating at Daya Memorial Hospital in Munirka.
Though a CT scan has been normal, he is unable to speak coherently with anyone. "There is no injury to the brain and thankfully no bone injury either. It will obviously take some time for him to recover but he will be okay," said neurosurgeon Dr Sairam.
