An Income Tax department official, Letminthang Haokip, was killed during the recent violence in Imphal, Manipur. Haokip was a Tax Assistant who was on duty when he was dragged out of his official residence and beaten to death by Meitei miscreants.
The Indian Revenue Service (IRS) Association has strongly condemned the violence, saying that no cause or ideology can justify the killing of an innocent public servant. The association put out a photo of Haokip and expressed its condolences to his family during this difficult time.
The violence in Manipur has been ongoing for the last 48 hours, with ethnic rioting causing widespread unrest in parts of the state. According to a defence spokesperson, a total of 13,000 people were rescued and shifted to safe shelters.
The killing of Haokip has sparked outrage among the public, with many calling for swift action to be taken against the perpetrators. The incident highlights the danger that public servants face when they are on duty in areas where there is violence and unrest.
The Indian government has a responsibility to protect its citizens and ensure that law and order is maintained in all parts of the country. The killing of a public servant is a heinous crime that cannot be tolerated, and those responsible must be brought to justice.
The violence in Manipur has caused immense damage to public property and disrupted the lives of thousands of people. It is important for all parties involved to exercise restraint and work towards finding a peaceful solution to the issue at hand.
In times of violence and unrest, it is important to remember that all lives matter, and that no cause or ideology can justify the killing of innocent people. Letminthang Haokip was a dedicated public servant who was doing his duty when he was killed, and his death is a tragedy that should never have happened.
