Imphal: (Waari Singbul Network) Barely five days after celebrated fashion designer, Kumarjit Laishram, who was ‘punished’ for his involvement in unethical activities, named four high profile people of the state to be involved in a sex scandal, the opposition Congress today sought the government to probe into the matter and take necessary measures.
The banned Koireng-led UNLF ‘punished’ Kumarjit by pumping a bullet in his leg in Imphal West district for his role in the sex racket.
Admitting that he supplied women to high profile people of the state, Kumarjit ,who also runs a spa and a beauty salon close to his Takyel Khonbal Maning Leikai in Imphal West district, named two ministers, a legislator and an IAS officer as his clients. He is undergoing treatment at the Centre-run RIMS hospital here.
Leaders of the Mahila, youth, NSUI and Seva Dal of the ‘Grand old Party’ submitted the memoranda to the Governor, chief minister and assembly speaker, demanding to initiate a probe “ at the highest level” to the alleged sex scandal involving the VIPs and take necessary actions accordingly.
In the memo, the Congress leaders said the sex scandal published in the media “seems to be one of the very serious issues regarding the morality and immorality among the elected members as well as other top ranking bureaucrat officer.”
It added that none of the VIPs named by Kumarjit “made any clarification from their personal side as to whether they were really involved or not in the said sex scandal.”
“In such a situation in the interest of the general public, particularly the women, we have decided to approach the State Government for initiating an enquiry to the satisfaction of the public as the authority is still silent over the issue,” read the memo.
“Therefore, we hereby request your good office to kindly constitute an Enquiry Commission at the highest level so as to find out if any of the named VIPs are involved. Further, we also request your goodself to take up appropriate action(s) as per the findings of the enquiry in the interest of the public in general and women in particular,” the frontal Congress leaders said.
