• DIMAPUR — The Naga Mothers’ Association has demanded immediate suspension of IAS officer Reny Wilfred in the aftermath of sexual harassment allegations at the workplace levelled against him.

• In a letter addressed to the governor, the NMA urged La Ganesan to ensure that justice is served to the victims and punitive measures given strictly as per the law to the perpetrator, “who has been a repeated offender of sexual crimes against young women and girls.”
• 
  
• “We object strongly to the insidious unwanted pressure from higher authorities to silence and discourage an unbiased investigation. We urge that the earlier complaints of the Khiamniungan Women Organisation on the rape cases in Noklak be taken cognisance of at the earliest, as the latest cases have indicated that the accused is a repeated offender of sexual crimes.

• “It is a shame for any officers of the prestigious IPS or IAS, who are well versed in the laws against sexual crimes, to try to protect the officer. The Naga mothers will not tolerate any leniency or hushing up in these serious cases. We demand his immediate suspension pending inquiry from the IDAN office and other responsibilities,” read the letter.
