The bodies of 13 persons killed in a gunfight near Manipur’s border with Myanmar on Monday have been identified following an autopsy in the State’s capital Imphal.
Most of the deceased were from different parts of the Imphal Valley dominated by the Meitei community. At least two of them — one each from Torbung in the Churachandpur district and Moreh in Tengnoupal district — were staying in relief camps.
Many of them were teenagers, three of the youngest aged 16, a list of the deceased accessed by The Hindu said.
