The NSCN/GPRN based on the facts and evidence available; circumstances leading to the commission of heinous crime, examination and cross-examination of all admissible evidence, People’s Revolutionary Court (PRC) of NSCN/GPRN found the following facts beyond a reasonable doubt to be true. That, Mr. Imti Kumzuk Jamir, 32 years S/O Lima Temsu Jamir of Mongsenyimti, Mokokchung district, Mr. Hetoi Chisi, 32 years S/O Late Lhojumo of Zutovi, Dimapur district and two others (names withheld) all habitual and hardened criminals, stormed into the house of the victims residing at Doragapathar (Narhabari), Dimapur district, on the night of 25th March 2009, through climbing the wall and breaking the main door with a pre-meditated criminal intention. Thereafter, the four accused persons on seeing the mother and her daughter, around 26 years old, immediately overpowered and took advantage over them and one of the accused Mr. Hetoi fired two shots in the air from his sten carbine. They forcibly locked up the victim’s mother in one room and took her daughter in another room where they raped her mercilessly one after another at gunpoint. Then, they fled looting Rs. 16,000/-(sixteen thousand) along with some jewellaries. It is also learned that the mother was badly assaulted without any provocation. From the evidence so admitted the Court of GPRN came to know that all the culprits have been constantly involved in criminal activities like looting, murder, robbery, theft, drugs trafficking/smuggling, vehicle lifting, pickpocket etc.
The People’s Revolutionary Court of NSCN/GPRN having its jurisdictional authority and power to dispense justice make the following observation and judgment: it is at the best interest of all that fairness be prevailed in our society. A strong and progressive society based on inviolable rights of all individual persons can be secured only when these rights of ours are protected and respected. But today, these criminals had already shaken the very foundation of such society. Their acts of breaking a house, damaging property and looting, and above all gang-raping a girl has once again threatened our social institution. Without a homily environment and healthy atmosphere human progress can make no headway. They become a dreadful menace and like a cancer in our society. The violation of individual rights to privacy, decency, peace and security ought to be restored. Individual right to live is not a mere animal existence but includes to live with dignity, chastity and freedom. Rape is a crime against all humanity. It’s a serious crime of immorality, human decency and has badly outraged the modesty of women, both in the eyes of man and God. Our conscience that dictates the gift of reason having the right to claim justice cannot be violated. A rapist who defiles human dignity and conducts himself beastly has to be judged severely in order to act as a deterrent in our society. The victim of such a crime incurs irreparable damage to her reputation and personal life. The stigma she bears will endure throughout her life. No form of justice can justify and mollify such act of crime. Hence, in the best wisdom of justice the PRC of GPRN hereby pronounces the culprits to be judged by the law of the people.
Therefore, in view of the nature of crime committed by the perpetrators, the GPRN in its penal judgment declared all the accused persons guilty of gang-raped, breaking house, assault, damaged of property, looting and criminal trespass, and hereby awarded capital punishment to the aforementioned two arrested accused persons on 17th July 2009.
