Imphal, The mutilated bodies of two youths, who had gone missing from a village in Manipur’s Kangpokpi district three days back, were found in a hilly stretch in adjoining Senapati on Sunday, police said.
The agitators claimed that a few of them received injuries in the incident. Kangpokpi-based Committee on Tribal Unity has demanded the resignation of another Deputy Chief Minister Losii Dikho, who is from the Naga community, over the incident. It also sought the transfer of Taphou Kuki Village from the jurisdiction of Senapati superintendent of police to that of the Kangpokpi SP. “During the course of one such operation, the joint teams recovered the two bodies.
The bodies were found stuffed in gunny bags in a banana farm during a search operation to trace the two youths, identified as T Chongloi and Paoginlal Hangsing , who went missing from Taphou Kuki village on October 29, they said.
The committee said the bodies would not be taken to the village for final rites till the perpetrators were arrested. Joint teams of the police, CRPF and Assam Rifles had conducted search operations along the boundary of Kangpokpi and Senapati districts to trace the youths, the officials said. The bodies are of the two missing Kuki youths,” he said.
