Aizawl, Mar 25 : The mysterious death of Rev Chanchinmawia, former moderator of the Mizoram Presbyterian Synod and chairman of the Mizoram People’s Forum (MPF) in October last year rocked Mizoram Assembly here today where Opposition parties demanded a CBI probe.
Replying to a question from Andrew Lalherliana of Zoram Nationalist Party, Home Minister Tawnluia said the case was investigated by a special investigation team of the State police which submitted its final report to the Additional District Magistrate (Judicial) on December 6 and the court had already accepted the final report.
The pastor was found dead in his official residence at Khatla here on the morning of October 1, 2007. Controversy was fueled by the fact that he was the chairman of the MPF, formed by conglomerate of churches and major NGOs to reform political and electoral process in the State.
Tawnluia also said the police investigation did not reveal any possibility of homicide and all the evidences pointed towards a suicidal death.
Opposition members, however, alleged that insurgents might be involved with his death and demanded that the case be re-opened and the CBI be asked to take up the probe.
