A day after the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) arrested four Kuki-Zo people, including two women, for allegedly abducting and killing two Meitei students who went missing in July, the hill districts in Manipur observed a total shutdown to protest the “arbitrary arrests.” The CBI on October 2 secured five-day custody of the four accused persons.
It is learnt that the designated Guwahati court, while passing the directions, observed that prima facie perusal of records showed that the arrests were justified and that the process laid down for arrests had been followed by the agency. Women personnel were part of the team.
