4 bodies of Nagas found near Myanmar border in Manipur
The bullet-riddled bodies of four Tangkhul Naga civilians were found at Pilong village in Manipur’s Kamjong district near the Myanmar border in the early hours of Friday, with police suspecting that militants from across the border were behind the killings
Four bodies of Tangkhul Naga civilians were discovered near the border between India and Myanmar in Manipur's Kamjong district on Friday morning, according to police. The attack, believed to have occurred late on Thursday evening, left three individuals dead and one survivor. The victims identified as Phami Jajo, Ningthem Kashak, Betterson Jajo, and Vareishim Jajo, were found by authorities after a search.
Police suspect the Kuki National Army-Burma (KNA-B), a Myanmar-based militant group, although this has not been confirmed. The chief minister of Manipur condemned the killings, expressing no tolerance for such violence. A civil body representing the Tangkhul Naga community, the Tangkhul Naga Long (TNL), imposed a 24-hour total shutdown in affected areas as a protest, alleging government responsibility for cross-border terrorism and the brutal killings.
