  "account": "Three people have been killed in militant attacks in Manipur's Senapati district, according to officials. On September 26, suspected militants killed two Naga civilians and injured two others. Adani Manio, 33, and Ashiho Sani, 49, were among those injured and taken to a private hospital in Senapati. Unfortunately, Mr. Sani passed away at the hospital around 3 a.m. on September 27, and his body was sent to Senapati district hospital for a post-mortem. Former Chief Minister N. Biren Singh expressed his concern over the incident, stating that over 60 killings had occurred this year. Singh questioned the continued counting of bodies rather than holding attackers accountable and improving law and order in the region.",
  "summary": "Two Naga civilians were shot dead by armed miscreants at Kalenjang village near Taphou Kuki in Manipur’s Senapati district on Saturday afternoon. The victims, Rocky from Chowainu village and Kumar from Laii Shirafii village, were reportedly attacked inside a house belonging to the village chief of Kalenjang. According to The Indian Express, Rocky belonged to the Mao Naga community, while Kumar was from the Poumai Naga community.\n\nTwo others were injured in the incident. The village had been abandoned since July after two houses were set on fire by miscreants, according to local sources and police. The village chief, Lhingjahoi Hangshing, issued a statement clarifying that the village had been abandoned due to ongoing tension between the two tribal groups.\n\nThe death toll from the incident has risen to three, with one of the injured persons succumbing to their injuries in hospital, as reported by The Hindu. The killings occurred shortly before the United Naga Council announced its decision to suspend its four-month-old economic blockade along the national highways in the State.",
