Enraged over the killing of 8 year old Chinglenkhomba, a mob demolished the house of the killer, Bungthoi at Khagempalli Panthak today. On the other hand police have recovered the scissor used by the killer as well as the cycle of the victim.As suspicion grew that Bungthoi could be involved in the killing of the child, a large number of people went to meet his father, Ibochou today. However on reaching the house they found that all the family members had fled earlier. The enraged mob, recalling the notorious past of Bungthoi then started destroying the goods of the house from 9 am today.
Neighbours at the site said that before the house was attacked, they saw three youths going to the house in civvies. Apart from substantially damaging the house, all the household properties of the family were taken to the ground of Irom Pukhri Mapal Social Club and set on fire.
Even as the mob was dismantling the house, the grand father of Bungthoi came out and told the crowd that they can give whatever punishment they want to his grand son, but added that since the house was built by him (grandfather), those involved in the demolition should compensate. Not surprisingly, this only added to the ire of the mob and the grandfather was physically assaulted and his house was also attacked. The situation was brought under control only after the police arrived.
