The case pertains to a school teacher of Rong Ar-e LP School, Moneswar Kalita who has been missing since 30 August last.
In a press conference held at KAWJF office here on Monday, the president, KAWJF, Beaulet Beypi said, “A letter has been submitted to DC by KAWJF and UKAWA regarding torture of a woman, Mariam Rongpipi in connection with the disappearance of Moneswar Kalita, a teacher of Rong Ar-er LP school on 30 August.”
The letter by KAWJF and UKAWA said that Moneswar Kalita was a colleague of Kania Tokbi, Karbi Language Teacher teaching in the same school. On the day Kalita went missing, Tokbi called Kalita’s phone number, but didn’t get any response.
Police took Tokbi to Samelangso police station for interrogation and beat him. The women’s organisation also said that police also took Tokbi’s wife Mariam Rongpipi to Dokmoka police station for questioning and beat her.
The women organisations questioned the law and order authority for beating a woman by policemen and condemned the cruelty of the police personnel. The women’s organisations demanded an immediate enquiry into the matter in order to deliver justice to Mariam Rongpipi and her husband Kania Tokbi. The women organisations also demanded for suspension of the officer-in-charge of Samelangso and Dokmoka police stations.
