We strongly assert that Thanglienlal Hmar is an innocent boatman who has no involvement whatsoever in the said crime. His arrest appears to be arbitrary and unjustified, raising serious concerns about due process and fairness in the investigative approach.
While the KZC appreciates the work of national agencies in upholding law and order, we are compelled to point out the selective nature of justice. To date, no arrest has been made in the rape and murder of Zosangkim, a Kuki-Zo woman, nor in the killing of 10 Hmar volunteers in Jiribam. Similarly, no action has been taken against the person who beheaded David Thiek of Langza, even though his identity circulated widely on social media. The murder of Sub-Inspector Onkhomang remains uninvestigated. Moreover, while those accused in the horrific Naked Parade incident were released, many Kuki-Zo individuals remain imprisoned without resolution.
These continued injustices reflect a deep bias in the justice system. The deep-rooted conflict between the Meitei and Kuki-Zo communities cannot be addressed through isolated arrests. The fact is, both communities are now physically and emotionally divided. Too much blood has been shed. A lasting solution lies not in selective prosecution, but in a political settlement that formally recognises this separation and secures peace and dignity for both sides.
