In yet another shocking incident, two bodies, including that of a woman, with bullet wounds were recovered in Imphal East and West districts in Manipur, the police affirmed on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The police asserted that the body of a middle-aged woman with a bullet wound on her head was found in the vicinity of Tairenpokpi area in Imphal West district on Wednesday. He added that the body was sent to the Regional Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS), Imphal for post-mortem examination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another police official stated that the body of a man, presumed to be in his forties, was found in Takhok Mapal Makha area in Imphal East district late on Tuesday night. He added that the locals recovered the body of the unidentified man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As per the police, the deceased was found blindfolded with hands tied behind his back and bullet wounds on his head. The victim\u2019s body was sent to the Jawaharlal Nehru Institute of Medical Sciences in Imphal East for identification and post-mortem examinations. The officer said that an FIR has been registered, and an investigation on the matter is underway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Reportedly, the deceased woman is believed to be one of the four missing persons, who were recently abducted by unidentified men from Kangchup foothills in Imphal West district.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to reports, after being alarmed over the presence of unknown persons from a different community, who had strayed into the Meitei area, a large group of people, including women from Phayeng, went to Kangchup hillside to find out about them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nearly nine people, including two Manipur police personnel and a woman, sustained bullet injuries after unidentified men fired on them at Kangchup foothills on Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Manipur has been witnessing ethnic clashes since May 3. Over 180 people have been killed since then. The ethnic clashes broke out following a move to give Meiteis Scheduled Tribe status, which has since been rolled back and an attempt to turf out tribals living in protected forest areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Notably, Meiteis account for about 53 per cent of Manipur\u2019s population and live mostly in the Imphal Valley, while tribals, which include Nagas and Kukis, constitute 40 per cent and reside mainly in the hill districts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
