Two days after the editor of a local daily was allegedly detained in Manipur over his remarks on the state government’s war on drugs, a human rights body has now written to the National Human Rights Commission seeking an impartial probe.
Expressing concern over the detention of Sanaleibak editor Ningombam Hemantakumar, Human Rights Defenders’ Alert-India on Friday said that the journalist was harassed and his house “illegally” searched for his views on a local TV channel.
