The case has been handed over to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for further inquiry.
In the wake of the recent lifting of the internet ban in Manipur, disturbing images surfaced online, shedding light on the disappearance of two Meitei students who went missing in July.
The Manipur government’s statement was released following the widespread sharing of photos of Hijam Linthoingambi (17) and Phijam Hemjit (20), both residents of Imphal, on social media.
The Imphal Police indicated their suspicion that the two missing Meitei students may have been killed by Kuki militants.
