Severed head of Manipur attack victim recovered 5 days after Naga body’s discovery

The severed head of Ajinbou Ringkamai, a victim of a suspected militant attack in Manipur, has been recovered 5 days after his headless body was found. The recovery was made by a joint team of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and local police in an isolated area near the attack site. The head was brought to the Jawaharlal Nehru Institute of Medical Sciences (JNIMS) in Imphal for an autopsy.

The attack occurred on October 10 in Makui Ashang village, and the recovery came after the Joint Tribes Council Manipur, a Naga organization, issued a 48-hour ultimatum to locate the head for a proper funeral. Since February, over 50 people have been killed in clashes between Kukis and Nagas in various districts of Manipur.
