CBI team reaches Imphal to probe killing of 2 Manipur students
A CBI team led by Special Director Ajay Bhatnagar reached Imphal Wednesday afternoon to investigate the 'kidnapping and killing' of two students days after they went missing, sources said. Photos of the bodies of the two students -- Phijam Hemjit (20) and Hijam Linthoingambi (17) -- who were missing since July 6, were shared widely on social media on Monday, sparking fresh rounds of protests in the state.
In light of the distressing news that emerged yesterday regarding the tragic demise of the missing students, I want to assure the people of the State that both the state and central government are closely working together to nab the perpetrators.
