Hopeson Ningshen’s trial - Sangai Express Editorial :: January 15, 2014 - The brutality shown in the triple murder of Dr Thingnam Kishan, then SDO of Kasom Khullen sub-division, Ukhrul district and his two staff Token and Rajen was of extreme nature.The degree of brutality shown in the murder was responded by an equally massive outpouring of condemnation, irrespective of ones ethnicity or place of settlement. For the first time in the history of the States protest movements, social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter etc were put into effective use to highlight the devilish nature of the crime throughout the world and thus contributed significantly in the fight for justice. What was interesting was, the highly communal murder evoked a strong reaction from all communities in unison. At first, NSCN-IM denied involvement of any of its men in the outrageous murders. But it only added more fuel to the raging fire of peoples bloodied sensitivity. By then, more and more fingers were pointing to NSCN-IM. The accusing fingers were not simply pointed to NSCN-IM. The fingers were directed by either some clues, logical arguments or may be a strong suspicion. At last, NSCN-IM unable to defend itself from the constant bombardment by implicating questions, and disclosures made by some quarters came up with a clarification that the triple murder was carried out by its Lieutenant Colonel Hopeson Ningshen at personal level. For a big, well established organisation like NSCN-IM, it would not be hard to gather conclusive intelligence of the barbaric murder even if it was committed by Hopeson Ningshen at individual level. In the meantime, the State Government handed over the case to CBI and the CBI, after investigation, came to the conclusion that Dr Kishan, Rajen and Token were, in fact, murdered by Lt Col Hopeson Ningshen and some of his henchmen. Cutting the story short, Hopeson Ningshen was handed over to the CBI through Naga Hoho and he has been facing trial since then. Read full @ goo.gl/VlPRdf
