Manipur University (MU) has been virtually shut down since May 31, 2018 following an indefinite strike by Manipur University Students Union (MUSU) demanding the removal of its Vice Chancellor (VC) Aditya Prasad Pandey (VC is a person having good political support and connection with the Central government in Delhi). Several rounds of talks between the representatives of MUSU, MUTA, MUSA and Chief Minister of Manipur, Governor of Manipur, representatives of Government of India were held but no amicable solution was achieved till the signing of Memorandum of Understanding between the MUSU, MUTA, MUSA and official of Human Resource Development, Ministry, Government of India in presence of the Chief Minister of Manipur. Till today, various forms of agitation including rally hunger strike, torch rally, sit-in-protest is organising and group of students who marched towards Chief Minister's office and BJP Manipur office were manhandled and brutally beaten by the police. Temporary tents built in front of the Manipur University where students, teachers, staffs and other local supporter used to hold protest was destroyed by the police in the pretext of violating prohibitory order under section 144 of Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC). No protesters who support the demands of students are allowed to carry out any forms of democratic protest. To counter the protest of students, some fringe groups with the support of the present government were instigated to take out massive rallies against the protesting students of Manipur University at various places without any prohibition from the police. It is important to mention here that these rallies were taken out at hyper sensitive zones without any disturbances despite their being application of prohibitory order under section 144 of CrPC in those areas. Police were busy safeguarding the rallies of the fringe group which was carried out against the students. It is in this context that several people wrote/commented on social media against the government sponsored rallies. Towards this, Kishorechand Wanghemcha, a well-known TV anchor hosted a 30 minutes program on this issue on a local news channel, ISTV. Of all the comments made against the government sponsored rallies Mr. Kishorechand Wanghemcha was the only person who was picked up by the police illegally with an ulterior motive from the higher authorities and was charged under Section 500 and 505 (2) of the Indian Penal Code under which the Police has no authority to register a case / FIR without obtaining prior permission from the Magistrate. Details of the Incident: On 9 August 2018 the Anchor and Sub-Editor of Information Service Television Network (ISTV), Kishorchandra Wangkhemcha was meeting some of his old friends after his official work in the evening. At around 8:05 pm he received a call from Konthoujam Bobby, the Officer in Charge of Imphal West Police Station. The OC called him to come to over to Imphal West Police Station immediately for some urgent matter without mentioning the reason of calling. At around 10 pm he went to Imphal West police station along with his two friends. He met OC, Konthoujam Bobby and asked him about the phone call. The OC then informed him about the matter related to the comments posted in his Facebook on 7th August 2018. He informed the OC that in his FB post he criticized the present government's response to state crises, there was nothing in the comments that incited communal tension in the state. He wrote this following post in his FB profile based on the background cited above, "As they are very fool, that's is the very reason why they are called Budhu Joker Party (laughing symbols) tail less jokers. There is a story of counter protest planned by the MLA's brother party, also there is a story of instructions given from top brass to the police to insure safeguard of the rally. This is a rally by the slave of non-local/outsiders who drinks urine of cow and eat cow dung. Don't they have guts to find any means way out rather than licking outsiders ass, the rally is not organised by the government but rather sponsored" (Translated from local language). The police officer then informed Kishorchandra that he was instructed by the higher authority to arrest him and he further told Mr. Kishorechand that he can talk to Ministers, who are his close friends and could help him with his release. Later at night, Mr. Kishorchandra was informed by the police that he could not leave the police station and that he had to be arrested and detained under police custody of Imphal West Police Station. Next day morning i.e. on 10 August 2018, he was made to sign a document in the police station before being taken to the court. He was produced before the Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) at around 3:30 pm. The Imphal West Police filed a suo moto case against him, charging him under IPC sections 505(2) and 500 with FIR No. 173(8)2018 IPS, U/s 505(2)/500 IPC. His wife tried for his bail, but the bail move was denied and announced 15 days judicial custody in Sajiwa Jail. Thereafter from 10 August 2018 onwards he was kept under judicial custody. After 2 days of detention under judicial custody, on 12 August 2018 he was tutored to complain of chest pain, headache, breathing problem, exhaustion and dizziness by the Jail Doctor in order to get released from the jail. He was so helpless that he had no option but to follow the advice of the Jail Doctor. The jail doctor prepared a document stating the above health complaints and later referred to Jawaharlal Nehru Institute of Medical Sciences (JNIMS). The police officials took him to JNIMS by handcuffing him at around 11 am. The whole medical checkup was planned so that the doctors could make a report of sickness in his case. On 13 August 2018 at around 10 am he was released on condition of executing the "personal bond of Rs. 50,000 and surety of Rs. 50,000." He was also directed to be present in person in the Court on the 24th August, 2018 as stated in the Form of Release Order, Memo No. CJM/IW/2018/715, dated 12/08/2018
