The judgment of the Gauhati High Court records the following account. On 24 March 2009, civilian construction labourer and tutor a New Tairenpokpi man was picked up by plainclothes personnel of the combined Imphal West Police Commando and 16 Assam Rifles force while on his way to a Youth, and was shot dead the same evening at New Tairenpokpi; a false KYKL-encounter case was registered at Lamshang PS. The Addl. District Judge inquiry found no evidence he was a KYKL member and rejected the encounter version.

Decided by the Gauhati High Court (Imphal Bench). Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.
