TURA, March 9: Hundreds of schoolchildren on Tuesday took to the streets at Mendal town in North Garo Hills to condemn the street justice meted out to their classmate by a group of people for talking to a girl at Dingok bazaar last week.
Thirteen-year-old Mansim G Momin of Raja Apal village was waiting to pick up his father for a ride home on the evening of March 4 when he met his classmate at Dingok market, near Bajengdoba. Both were engaged in a conversation when a group of boys and men objected to their meeting, thereby leading to an altercation in which Mansim was brutally assaulted with a wooden club, resulting in his death.
Students and classmates from his school, Don Bosco in Mendal, who were appalled at the incident, took out a rally displaying placards on Tuesday, demanding justice for their friend.
They marched through the main thoroughfare of the town to condemn the spine-chilling murder.
Meanwhile, North Garo Hills Police has taken into custody three persons who were involved in the attack. While an adult has been placed under arrest, the other two, who have been identified as juveniles, have been sent to a correctional centre.
Police have also seized the weapon, a form of wooden club, which was used to attack the teenager.
