Thadou Inpi Demands Independent Probe into Killing of Three Church Leaders in ManipurPreviousNext

The Thadou Inpi Manipur (TIM) has called for an independent, transparent, and timely investigation into the May 13 killing of three Thadou Baptist Association India leaders in Kangpokpi district. The attack, involving unidentified gunmen, occurred in an area with Kuki militant group presence. TIM criticized the National Investigation Agency (NIA) for slow progress, lack of public arrests, and mislabeling the victims' ethnic identities as 'Kuki,' emphasizing accurate identification is crucial to understanding motives and perpetrators.
