GUWAHATI: A seven-second video from May 4 purportedly showing a man with a disfigured face and his body aflame has emerged in strife-torn Manipur, touching a raw nerve in a state that is still to heal from the horrors of the violence wrought by mobs and militants for over four months.
The Manipur government's security adviser, Kuldiep Singh, told reporters on Monday that the burning man in black T-shirt and camouflage trousers had been identified as Laldinthanga Khongsai (37), alias Lal James, from Paokhongching under Nongpok Sekmai police station in Kangpokpi district.
