Senior Manipur journalist Laba Yambem booked for criminal intimidation, held

Meanwhile, Yambem’s lawyer has alleged that he has not been produced before the magistrate concerned. The lawyer said the police approached the judge seeking permission to produce Yambem via video conference citing the law-and-order situation late on Monday evening. However, the lawyer objected to the appeal of the police and demanded that Yambem be physically produced.

“This raises serious concerns about the manner in which the investigating authorities are handling the matter,” said the daughter of the journalist complaining about the ‘delay’ in Yambem’s production before the magistrate.

Notably, Yambem formed a political party called the Good Governance Party in July. Nearly two months after the formation of the party, Yambem’s house came under attack from armed miscreants in September.
