A Manipur minister has said that additional arrests will be made within two days in connection with the killing of six Naga civilians.
A senior minister from Manipur has announced that more arrests will be taken in the next two days over the killing of six Naga civilians. The statement was made during a press briefing where the minister emphasized the seriousness of the incident and the need for swift justice.
The killings took place in a remote area of Manipur last month, where the victims were reportedly civilians of Naga origin. Police investigations have identified several suspects, but the case has drawn attention due to the ethnic sensitivities involved.
Manipur police have already detained a number of individuals suspected of involvement in the murders. The minister said that the additional arrests will target key perpetrators who have evaded capture.
Authorities are also reviewing security protocols in the region to prevent further incidents. The government has pledged to cooperate with local communities and ensure that the investigation is thorough and transparent.
