The six from the same family of the Meitei community were taken hostage by Kuki militants on November 11, the same day 10 militants who attacked civilian homes were shot dead by the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) in an encounter in Jiribam
The bodies of six people from the same family and two senior citizens from the Meitei community who were killed in a terror attack by Kuki militants were brought home today in Manipur's Jiribam from a hospital in neighbouring Assam's Silchar.
The autopsies are done, but the family is yet to get the reports. Jiribam residents who have been to the Silchar hospital told NDTV the state government may not want the reports to be shared immediately as the situation is tense, and it could spark another round of public unrest, as happened a few days ago when houses of MLAs were vandalised by miscreants.
The six from the same family were taken hostage by Kuki militants on November 11, the same day 10 militants who attacked civilian homes were shot dead by the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) in an encounter in Jiribam, 220 km from the state capital Imphal.
