Manipur road rage: SC asks Centre to consider giving security to family

The Supreme Court today asked the Centre to consider giving security cover to the parents of a youth, who was killed in a road rage case in 2011 by the son of Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh.<br/><br/>The apex court observed that without any reason nobody has that courage to make allegations against the chief minister and the family should be given protection.<br/><br/>The Manipur government informed the apex court that it does not have any problem in providing security to the parents of the youth who have alleged that they feared for their lives.<br/>A vacation bench of Justices A K Sikri and Deepak Gupta asked Additional Solicitor General Maninder Singh to seek instructions about providing security by central forces to the parents as they are now residing in Delhi.<br/><br/>Advocate Kamini Jaiswal, appearing for Irom Chitra Devi, mother of the victim Irom Roger, said they have left Manipur out of fear and are currently residing in Delhi. Therefore, security by Central forces needs to be provided.
