Letter to SP/CCPUR

Mr Prakhar Pandey, IPS

Superintendent of Police

29/April/2025, 39 days since Mandeihkim was brutally Raped and murdered. 39 days since her life, her dreams and hopes of Mandeihkim's family were taken away. 39 days since the town witnessed the most brutal crime to date.

39 days ago, on 21st March 2025, Mandeihkim, a 9-years-old voice, was silenced and her rights to live denied by Mr Khawmmalsawm and 39 days since the Lamka Police, under the leadership of Prakhar Pandey, IPS and Chinneilam Gangte, OC WPS, tried to silence and deny the public Justice. BTT will be true to its name and continue to stand for the public and be their voice.

We have been continuously monitoring the case and are equally appalled by how the police have failed to perform their basic duty. So we are, once again, putting it out to the public:

1. *Forensic tests have revealed that Khawmmalsawm is indeed the rapist and murderer* . Despite his unwillingness to confess and plead guilty, test results confirm his DNA. ( *DNA result ah pawngsualtu leh Tualthattu Khawmmalsawm ahi chih chet ahi ta* )

2. *Why is the Women Police OC continuing to remain silent to this day* ? Is she colluding with the perpetrators and intent to hide the truth? She must issue a press statement and inform the public of the case status. ( Women Police OC in bangziak a tunitan dong rape case omlou bang a thusuah neilou ahia? Bang imm a sel sawm ahia? A kin thei pen in mipi lak a thudik puankhiak hi hen)

3. *There can no customary settlements between families in this case;* the rapist and murderer, Khawmmalsawm, must face the Law of the land and be awarded the highest punishment according to the law. (Hiai tungtang ah inndongta kihouna a om thei kei ding a, dan toh kituak in gawtna sang pen piak hi hen)

How many days will it take for the Police force to eventually perform their basic responsibility? Is the Lamka Police a Law Enforcement Agency or an agency that end's Law?

Mr. Dharun Kumar, IAS, Deputy Commissioner, Mandeihkim was buried six feet under, is her grave the development plan you spoke of? Do not turn this beautiful town into another Somalia, we understand that you're here for a moment, but this is our Home. So our Heartfelt appeal to you all, the District Administrations and Police, to Live and Let Live. Let Justice get a chance, for a change.
