In Manipur, a grim discovery was made as two lifeless bodies, one of them a woman, bearing gunshot wounds, were found in the Imphal East and Imphal West districts, according to police reports on Thursday. The first of the two tragic findings was that of a middle-aged woman whose life had been cut short by a bullet wound to her head. Her lifeless body was recovered in the vicinity of the Tairenpokpi area in Imphal West district on a fateful Wednesday. An officer confirmed this somber event and added that the body was subsequently transported to the Regional Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS) in Imphal for a post-mortem examination.
The second body was that of an unidentified man, presumably in his forties, which was located in the Takhok Mapal Makha area of Imphal East district late on a Tuesday night. In this case, it was local residents who discovered the deceased. According to authorities, the unfortunate individual was found with his eyes blindfolded and his hands bound behind his back, with gunshot wounds marking his head. His body was sent to the Jawaharlal Nehru Institute of Medical Sciences in Imphal East for the purpose of identification and post-mortem examinations. An official revealed that an FIR (First Information Report) has been registered, and an ongoing investigation is underway to shed light on the circumstances surrounding these tragic deaths.
Furthermore, the deceased woman is suspected to be one of the four missing individuals who had reportedly been “abducted by unidentified individuals” from the Kangchup foothills in the Imphal West district, according to another officer. The situation in the region had escalated due to the presence of unknown individuals from a different community who had inadvertently strayed into the Meitei area. This prompted a significant response from a large group of concerned individuals, including women from Phayeng, who ventured to the Kangchup hillside to ascertain the situation, as reported by eyewitnesses. These unsettling events underscore the need for a thorough investigation to unravel the mysteries surrounding these tragic deaths and the circumstances that led to them. The local community is left grappling with grief and apprehension as authorities work diligently to provide answers and justice for the victims.
