Supreme Court Seeks Report on Unnatural Deaths and Safety in Manipur Relief Camps
The Supreme Court expressed shock over 34 unnatural deaths in Manipur relief camps housing internally displaced persons (IDPs) following ethnic violence. It questioned the state government on limited post-mortems conducted, low compensation paid to victims' families, and lack of thorough investigations. The court directed the Manipur Chief Secretary to file a detailed affidavit on these deaths and ordered the Manipur State Legal Services Authority to ensure FIRs are registered and investigations expedited. Concerns were also raised about the safety and dignity of IDPs, including reports of sexual assault in the camps.
