The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has filed separate charge sheets before a Guwahati court against five accused in connection with two inter-related cases of violence in Manipur involving the kidnapping and suspected murder of two minors.
The accused have been identified as Nohgin Baitekuki, Paolunmang, Smalsawn Haokip, Paominlun Haokip, and Lhingneichang.
The agency had registered the case on August 23, 2023, following a reference from the State Government pertaining to two first information reports (FIRs). The first one was registered on July 8, 2023, on a complaint against a minor boy. It was alleged that the complainant’s minor daughter went missing on July 6, 2023, and had been kidnapped by the 17-year-old boy with the intention of marrying her without her consent.
