A video of a 31-year-old tribal man, which was made shortly before he was beheaded and set ablaze on the boundary of Churachandpur and Bishnupur districts of Manipur on July 2, emerged on social media on Saturday.
A police official told The Hindu that they were analysing the video and that no arrests had been made in the case so far.
In the video clip, the man identified as David Tuolor, is seen being slapped and asked about his ethnic identity. A group of men wearing black clothes and camouflage trousers asks if he belongs to the Hmar community. The faces of the men are not visible.
