They abused and threatened the Church Board Chairman. Through the intervention of the Kakching police officials, any physical attack was prevented. The pastor Nabakeshwar and his group after cheating the Church fund and illegally transferring the church plot, have locked the church building with new lock and key and put up a different name of church signboard. Now the members have no place for their Sunday Worship service.

Meanwhile, the Church Secretary Shawaijam Kanta Singh filed a false case against two church members and church treasurer with the allegation that three church members stole the church resolution record book and the church bank account passbook and they were arrested by police.

Since the matter became serious, the Church Board resolved to seek the legal help from Human Rights Law Network based at Imphal, headed by renowned human rights defender Advocate Rakesh Meihoubam. A case of cheating, dishonour, and organising a group with an intension to harm others was filed the court against the pastor, the secretary and seven others involved in the crime.

A copy of the resolution was submitted to Head Office, Secunderabad signed by Pastor Nabakeshwar and the Chairman of the Church Board Rev. N. Debendra Singh on August 25, 2010.

The Church board also resolved in Sitting No 75 to suspend the Pastor Nabakeshwar and secretary Kanta from their post. The legal action is taken so that a message to be conveyed to all Christians and general public that no act of mischief is accepted in the eyes of the law. The church board and the members appealed to those who may wish to know the truth, may refer to the church resolution record book, which is at the custody of Kakching Police and a copy of the same is available with the church board.
