The Hynniewtrep Youth Council (HYC) on Friday demanded the state government to furnish inquiry report into the alleged killing of former Hynniewtrep National Liberation Council (HNLC) leader Cherishterfield Thangkhiew to his family members. 

In a letter to the Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma, HYC president Robertjune Kharjahrin said, “We demand that the report should be furnished to the family members of the deceased, all the procedures should be completed at the earliest and the same enquiry report should be placed in the public domain.”

“We believe that the enquiry commission has named the culprit(s) involved in the murder of the deceased person and has also fix responsibility on all the persons involved in the commission of the crime and as such they should immediately be arrested and/or prosecute under the relevant provisions of the law of the land and in case they are public servants (Police personnel) they should immediately be suspended,” he stated. 

The HYC president has also warned that failure to act on the demand, “we will have but no option than to resort to protest against the government”.

According to him, the organization is of the opinion that “justice delayed is justice denied” and the government  should no longer delay the matter any further.
