Four people have been arrested and two have been detained by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in the horrific murder case of two students in Manipur in July. The four include two men and two women, apart from the two girls who have been detained in the state capital Imphal. The police and the army in a joint operation captured the suspects from the hill district Churachandpur, 51 km from Imphal. After catching them, the forces drove swiftly to the airport, where a CBI team was waiting for them. The CBI team and the suspects took the last flight out of Imphal around 5:45 pm. Colonel (retired) Nectar Sanjenbam, who was recently made Senior Superintendent (Combat) of Police, led the operation to catch the suspects in Churachandpur. “I’m pleased to share that some of the main culprits responsible for the abduction and murder of Phijam Hemanjit and Hijam Linthoingambi have been arrested from Churachandpur today,” Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh said in a post on Twitter. The photos showing the bodies of the two students who went missing in July emerged on social media on September 26, after which the Manipur government assured swift action. The CBI has been looking into this case already, though the bodies of the two students are yet to be found. Investigators are also looking into allegations of rape before the murder.
