Kolkata, February 19 Nearly four years after it took up the case, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has chargesheeted four persons for the abduction and subsequent murder of Lungnila Elizabeth, daughter of the then Manipur minister for GAD and taxation, Francis Ngajokpa.

Eight-year-old Elizabeth was kidnapped in front of her school gate in Imphal on November 4, 2003. In spite of Rs 10 lakh being paid as ransom by her family, her body was found in a sack on November 12 on the outskirts of Imphal.

The CBI has submitted the chargesheet (a copy of which is available with The Indian Express) to the court of Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Imphal. The chargesheet names Th Nando Singh, N Rome Meitei, Okram Deben and James Kuki as the main accused in the case.

While Nando and Deben are suspected to be the cadres of the militant outfit Kangleipak Communist Party (KCP), Rome Meitei and Kuki allegedly owe allegiance to the Kuki National Front (KNF).

The CBI, which took up the case in March 2004 following a Supreme Court directive, has also included detailed reports of the brain finger printing conducted on Nando and Meitei as well as the polygraph conducted on Deben and Kuki. The chargesheet also includes Elizabeth’s postmortem report and depositions by 74 witnesses related to the case.

The CBI has requested the court that the chargesheet be kept open as the investigation is still on.
