Manipur News: Autopsy Of 5 Bodies Of Missing 6 From Manipur Done, 6th Body Found Floating In Assam

The postmortem examination of five bodies of the six missing people of Manipur's Jiribam district has been completed at a state-run hospital in Assam's Silchar town, officials said on Monday. Another body of a woman, probably that of the sixth missing person, was found floating in the Barak River in the Cachar district of Assam, which shares a border with Jiribam. Six people - three women and three children - belonging to the Meitei community had gone missing from a relief camp in Jiribam after a gunfight between security forces and suspected Kuki-Zo militants that resulted in the deaths of 10 insurgents on November 11. Six bodies were found in the Jiri River in Jiribam and the Barak River in Cachar over the last few days. All of them were brought to Silchar Medical College and Hospital (SMCH) in a "highly decomposed state" for conducting autopsy.
