Man rejects divorcee's charges
IMPHAL, Jan 18: Dismissing allegations by his ex-wife telem Robita as baseless and concocted, Ramesh Kumar Gupta today clarified that he never mistreated her when they were together.
Reacting to news report about Robita levelling several charges including domestic violence and indulgence in immoral activities, 45-year old Ramesh Kumar, who runs a watch shop at Paona Bazar, today told newspersons at Manipur Press Club that he not only took good care of his wife and children but also extended all possible assistance to his in-laws whenever needed.
Stating that his family elders had been staying in Manipur since 1937 he himself was born and brought up here in the State, Ramesh kumar said he would not object in case the matter is investigated and punished if found guilty.
Terming Robita's false accusations as an intentional attempt to defame taking undue advantage of him being a non-local, he also clarified that Robita left him on her own volition after tucking in a letter on February 24 at his Paona bazar shop.
Since then Robita had been trying to frame him with unfounded charges, Ramesh said and clarified that he never opposed Robita from meeting their children, who are studying at Dimapur.
He also insisted that Robita and her family members had asked for Rs 25 lakhs to purchase a plot of land near her maternal home which was declined as he would not be able to cough up such a huge amount.
apart from asking another sum of Rs 20 lakh after she left him, Ramesh said Robita accompanied by some unknown persons smashed household items and even issued threats by taking name of a UG group consequent to which the watch shop remained shut for nearly four months.
Ramesh also claimed that he personally went to Robita's house on three occasions to restore their relationships but his wife not only rejected his proposal but also insisted they sever (divorce) all ties.
Further dismissing Robita's allegation that he is a womaniser, Ramesh also belittled accusation that he maintained illicit relationship with her sister in-law namely Anjali Gangmei and conveyed to willingness to make his position clear to everybody.
Anjali Gangmei, who was also present at the media briefing, said she was subjected to severe cruelty and ostracised by the Telem family with false accusation of having illicit relationship with Ramesh Gupta.
Apart from her husband Romiyo thrashing her several occasion with the false allegations, Anjali informed she is currently staying at her parent's house after the Telem family ousted her.
On the otherhand, Robita's family members/relatives accompanied by volunteers of FREINDS stormed Manipur Press Club and insisted that the issue be discussed and settled for all times.
However, All Manipur working Journalists' Union president A Mobi, who was present at that moment, prevailed upon the latter group that it is beyond conventional norm that disputing parties settle their differences at the said venue.
Intervention by a group when another one is having a press conference is not only disallowed but would amount to depriving right of the first party, the Union president conveyed and suggested that the latter group conduct press conference on another convenient day.

This is a family matter it's not even fit to come up in daily news, those two family can resolved thru understanding. But now the valley base civil ogr FRIEND coming in & I'm sure valley people will make this petty matter a STATE ISSUE & all meira paibi/paiba/paidaba will call a general strike.... WAHHHHHHH M"PUR WAHHHH.
inferno
(Jadugar )Jadumani sanamacha, Ex- UCM,Ex-NURSHING Scandel, CEO, etc etc. wanted to hog the limelight. The issue of ILP is all right, but divorce, illtreatment by inlaws, husband -wife quarrel, who the hell are FRIENDS and goons headed by Jadugar(Jadumani). If they want to take up the issue of family quarrel, they have to take up the thousands of cases even within the Meitei society, r we free of the case like Gupta, is he victimised because he is a non local, stop this bullshit, be practical, YES IPL, but no to such Hyprocracy by organisation like FRIENDS, Let the case be settled by the Family court and according to the law of the land. So hands off FRIENDS
yare tamo editor
whats the idea behind publishing such news? Is this a news????? And why FREINDS get involved in this matter? Dont they have any other work??
sathiba
to editor, pliz dont publish such news
kk luwang
I don't understand why an esteemed paper like yours..will indulge in publishing somebody's personal matter in your newspaper...the matter is somebody's family matter. Newspapers, in general, don't ususally publish divorce cases or family fued..(unless it a high profile celebrity)...for that matter...Please don't straight away publish every Tom's,Dick's or Harry's news in your daily. Doing such things will affect the credibilty of your newspaper
@ chingmi?
Sober chingmi brother, Cool down first. I appriciate your coments if its from a person really interested for a change for betterment to ur society. But if it is a complain putting up considering all the peoples here in the valley are alike and assuming their mentalities like what you r trying to protray then my brother you are absolutly wrong. You need to learn and understand further. Every one has both the devil and the god will in them. What matter is how much on what side. Be a positive thinker and you would be much happier. Lets Be a problem solver rather then the creater in our sana leipak. Happy new year brother and sister.
