A 67-year-old woman was among three people killed by “unidentified miscreants” in an attack on a Kuki village in Manipur’s Kangpokpi district early on Friday.
Meanwhile, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has formed a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe six cases of ethnic violence notified by the Manipur Government. The SIT led by a Deputy Inspector General will comprise ten officials. The CBI took over the investigation on Friday.
A villager and the Indigenous Tribal Leaders Forum (ITLF) claimed that “Meitei militants disguised in army and police uniforms” attacked Khoken village, located at the junction of Kangkpokpi and Imphal West. Police had no leads on the attackers.
