INPUI: Hmar News & Info

One of the leading Hmar community website Hmar.In has been “indefinitely” shut down in protest against the factional killing perpetrated by the community’s armed groups in Manipur. Inpui.com too has been vocal about such incidents and it condemns it in the strongest terms. If any group claims they truly love Hmar, they must learn to accept that revenge or bloodshed is not the answer to sort out differences. Too much blood has already been shed! No one, except God, has the right to take life out of a person. We extend our support to HMAR.IN and our prayers are with the affected.   

Please Note:- INPUI.COM will not shut down the site as there are hundreds of people across the world searching for ‘Hmar tribe’, ‘Hmar Culture’, ‘What is Hmar’, ‘Hmar People’, ‘Keivom’, etc., every day. We will continue to provide access in view of the important nature of service Inpui.com provides to people who want to know more about the Hmar people.

Subject: Justice for raped victim.

Dear Madam,

We, the Hmar Students' Association, Joint Headquarters, Delhi would like to bring to your notice that one of our female member was physically beaten, tortured and raped by one Mr. Anuj Saini on the night of 18^th of January, 2012 at Dwarka, Delhi.

The raped victim aged 20 years, Miss Ruth <name changed>, who is a Tribal Christian and working in a Spa company in Gurgaon was offered a lift in a car by the rapist on the night of 18^th Janaury, 2012 on her way back to her rented place in Mahipalpur, New Delhi. Instead of dropping her to her place, the rapist Mr. Anuj Saini drove her to an unknown and isolated location somewhere in Bamnoli area of Dwarka Sector 28 and physically abused, tortured and raped her.
After escaping from the rapist, the raped victim returned to her place and an FIR was filed at the Police Station, Dwarka Sector 28, Delhi on 19^th January, 2012 against the rapist (FIR No. 11 Dated 19/01/2012) and the case against the rapist registered under IPC 365 and 376 and her statement taken by the concerned Police. The Police, who promised to arrest the rapist after 2 hours of filing of the report, arrested the rapist only after 5 days after the incident.

Considering the seriousness of this case and similar incidents that happened at the National Capital Region (NCR) and the unprecedented racial/gender-based violence meted to the people of North East India living in NCR, we, the Hmar Students' Association, Delhi demands the following to be taken up by your good office at the earliest so that justice be delivered to the victim, who is physically and mentally disturbed by the trauma she went through:

1. That, the rapist be punished appropriately without fail as per the law of the country.

2. That, the rapist in the case be further booked under suitable sections of the Scheduled Castes and Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989.

3. That, the victim be compensated as per the Scheduled Castes and Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 and any other prevailing laws that cover this nature of crime.

4. That, a special cell headed by an IPS officer from North East India be established within the Delhi Police to pro-actively deal with the issues and problems regularly faced by people from the North East India in NCR.

5. That, justice be delivered fairly to the raped victim at the earliest.

Sincerely,

(JAMES PUSING SANATE)

Guwahati: In Assam, around 1500 ultras belonging to nine ethnic militant groups will formally lay down arms at a surrender ceremony organized at Sarusajai Stadium in Guwahati this morning (10.00 a.m.).

A State Police spokesman said that the militants will lay down arms in presence of the Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram and the State Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi besides senior police and civil officials.
The nine groups to surrender en-masse are part of two major ethnic groups - the tribal Kukis and the Adivasis.

Among the major groups that are surrendering include the Kuki Revolutionary Army, the Hmar People’s Convention, the Birsa Commando Force, and the Adivasi Cobra Militant of Assam.

All these militant groups are already observing cease-fire with the Government, although formal peace talks are yet to begin. Most of these groups were either fighting for secession or for greater autonomy.

Mr. Tarun Gogoi said the Government will hold talks with all these groups and see to it that their genuine grievances are met.

AIR Guwahati correspondent reports that this would be the biggest-ever surrender of militants in the North-East.
