On Wednesday, police issued a statement indicating that a case of kidnapping, gang rape, and murder had been recorded at Nongpok Sekmai police station in Thoubal district against unknown armed miscreants and that all attempts were being made to apprehend the perpetrators as soon as possible.
Since May 3, ethnic confrontations have erupted in Manipur between the dominant Meitei group, which is concentrated in the Imphal valley, and the tribal Kukis, who live in the hills. So far, around 160 people have been killed in the violence.
