Manorama's credentials questionable: Vij

SRINAGAR, SEPT. 16. Asserting that Thanjam Manorama Devi, whose death in the custody of the Assam Rifles created a furore in Manipur, had ``questionable credentials," the Army Chief, N.C. Vij, said there were reports of her ``underground'' connections.

``As far as the credentials of this lady are concerned, they are questionable. Everyone knows that she was mixed up with the underground. There are reports available on that,'' Gen. Vij told reporters here.

``Even the State Chief Minister was on record having said this.''

Referring to the post-mortem report of Manorama Devi, which reportedly ruled out her rape in the custody, the Army Chief said: ``It has come out clearly that there is no rape and I think this is one fact which must reach everyone.'' — PTI
