Two days after four Kuki-Zo people, including the mother of a serving soldier, were snatched by a mob and abducted from a vehicle at a security checkpoint in Manipur’s Kangpokpi district, police said they have found the bullet-ridden bodies of a man and a woman in two different locations in Imphal in the past 24 hours.
A police source said that the bodies “most likely” belong to the abducted persons, but noted that the “formal identification is yet to be done.”
The 65-year-old father of the soldier, who was rescued by security forces present at the spot, received multiple injuries and continues to be in a critical state at the army hospital in Guwahati.
