On this day, three years ago, in the early hours of Sunday, 2 July 2023, at around 12:00 AM, the villages of Langza and Chinglangmei, predominantly inhabited by members of the Hmar and Kom tribe and located approximately 70 km southeast of Imphal, came under a brutal attack from the meiteis amid the ongoing ethnic violence.

During the attack, a Kuki-Zo Village Volunteer, Mr. David Thiek, was killed and later beheaded. Images and accounts that circulated at the time showed his severed head being publicly displayed on bamboo fence, while his remains were burned, leaving behind only few bones.

A meitei man identified as Mairembam Ramesh Mangang, who is also said to be associated with the local MLA's office as PA, was seen in widely circulated images holding David Thiek's severed head. To date, despite the existence of publicly circulated photographs, there has been no accountability against him. Such is the state of affairs in meitei Manipur.

Even at this height of bias and mistreatment among the same citizens of a state, some people outside KukiZo community, still believe in coexistence with the same people who treated us like tribal slaves and under the same government that patronized our ethnic cleansing pogrom from the state capital, who turned blind eyes of our suffering denying us any semblance of justice that is our birth right.

After years of Kuki-Zo suffering with little or no accountability, if our last remaining avenue for a peaceful political settlement, entrusted to the Suspension of Operations (SoO) groups in negotiations with the Central Government fails, even the SoO leadership leadership will not be able to guarantee the continued effectiveness of the SoO mechanism, the very framework that legally restrains the arms of Kuki-Zo groups.

It is important to note that the Kuki-Zo people have not declared any form of war against any community. Their continued pursuit has been for a peaceful and just political resolution that ensures their security, dignity and constitutional rights.

The latest incident comes a day after the reported burning of Phaimol Kuki Village in #Kamjong district and an alleged retaliatory attack on Thana Tangkhul Village, indicating that the cycle of #violence has spread from Ukhrul, Kamjong and Kangpokpi to Noney district.

Manipur : JOINT PRESS RELEASE
18th June 2026

Kuki Civil Society Organisations’ Churachandpur District strongly condemns and rejects the claim made by @crpfindia @official_dgar @Spearcorps that Mr. Lenminsang was killed in an encounter. Such a claim is a deliberate attempt to distort facts and shield those responsible for a grave injustice. This assertion is deeply disturbing and outrageous.

On 16 June 2026, Mr. Lenminsang, who had been assisting his relatives in jhum cultivation, remained at home due to illness. During the course of the day, security forces reportedly launched an operation in the village,involving drone strikes or mortar fire directed at unarmed civilians. This created an atmosphere of panic and fear among the villagers.
According to eyewitness accounts, when the bombardment occurred near the village, Mr. Lenminsang ran out of his house in fear for his safety. Witnesses state that he was pursued by security personnel from the vicinity of his residence and shot at point-blank range near the residence. When villagers later returned, they discovered his blood-stained clothes at the scene. The security personnel has subsequently altered the scene by changing his clothes and dressing him in combat attire in a calculated attempt to falsely portray him as a militant.
The whole gamut points to a cold-blooded extrajudicial killing followed by an apparent attempt at fabrication of evidence, an act that is totally against the law.
In light of this, Kuki Civil Society Organisations’ Churachandpur District demands:

1. An immediate, independent, impartial, and time-bound investigation by a competent authority.

2. Swift identification, suspension, and prosecution of all personnel involved, regardless of rank.

3. Full public disclosure of the findings to ensure transparency, accountability, and justice.

Kuki Civil Society Organisations’ Churachandpur District and the Kuki-Zo people will not remain mute spectators if justice is denied or the legitimate concerns of the community are ignored nor will it tolerate the continued targeting and misrepresentation of innocent civilians. The sentiments and rights of the people must not be disregarded.

All Central Security Forces must immediately cease any form of extrajudicial conduct in the discharge of their duties. Any action that reflects excessive use of force, bias, or illegality will be firmly resisted. Such conduct will only deepen our mistrust towards the central security forces.

Manipur : CONDEMNATION
Henglep, 17th June 2026

Letzamang Haokip
Manipur Legislative Assembly
57-Henglep (ST) Assembly Constituency

I strongly and unequivocally condemn the shocking killing of Lenminsang, S/o Lenkhogin Haokip, at the hands of joint security forces at North Songkong village, Henglep Sub-Division.

It is deeply disturbing and unacceptable that a civilian has lost his life at the hands of those entrusted with his protection. Such an incident strikes at the very foundation of public trust and raises serious concerns that cannot be ignored.

Adding to the gravity of the incident, eyewitnesses have alleged that, after he was shot, his clothes were removed and his lifeless body was taken away by the joint security forces. They further allege that, after his death, attempts were made to portray the incident as fake encounter. If these allegations are found to be true, it would constitute a grave abuse of authority and a serious violation of the rule of law. This is unacceptable and demands immediate attention. These allegations are extremely serious and warrant an immediate, impartial and transparent investigation.

The continued failure to return and retrieve the mortal remains of the deceased civilian has only compounded the pain and anguish of the bereaved family and the public. Every family has the right to perform the last rites of their loved one with dignity and respect.

I demand the immediate recovery and handover of the mortal remains to the family, a thorough judicial and independent inquiry into the incident, and stringent action against all those found responsible. Any attempt to conceal facts, tamper with evidence, or misrepresent the circumstances surrounding the death must be investigated and dealt with strictly in accordance with the law.

I extend my heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family and stand firmly with them in their pursuit of truth and justice.

Manipur : Mr Lenminsang, son of Kolchung village chief and innocent Kuki civiliain was killed by @crpfindia COBRA commandos this morning following their unprovoked attacked on Songkong Henglep Sub-dividion yesterday.

Reports confirm his body was removed from the scene and remains missing, yet his clothes bearing visible bullet marks were left behind. This deliberate removal and concealment to stage a Fake Encounter has caused widespread outrage and fear among the community. Given the seriousness of these allegations, we demand a prompt, impartial, and independent inquiry. All security personnel responsible, regardless of rank, must be held accountable under the law.

Manipur : PRESS STATEMENT
17th June, 2026

04/KIM/PR/25-50: The Kuki Inpi Manipur strongly condemns the unacceptable and deeply disturbing actions of the Central Security Forces in Leilon Vaiphei and its adjoining villages, where security personnel stormed the village, imposed a military-style lockdown, searched every house, and shouted at villagers, including women, children, students, and the elderly.

This action is not only insensitive and unjustified, but a grave insult to the suffering of the people of Leilon Vaiphei. The same village had been attacked only a day earlier by the NSCN-IM, leaving three innocent Kuki-Zo students critically injured and still undergoing medical treatment. At a time when the villagers are traumatised, grieving, and living in fear, the Central Security Forces chose to treat the victims as suspects instead of protecting them from the perpetrators.

We ask the Government of India and the authorities concerned: Why are operations being carried out with such force and intimidation in Kuki-Zo areas that have just suffered an armed attack? Why are innocent villagers being locked down, harassed, and humiliated, while the areas where NSCN-IM and its proxy groups are known to operate freely remain untouched? Why is the Government turning a blind eye to one side while acting harshly upon the actual victims?

The people of Leilon Vaiphei and adjoining villages are not criminals. They are victims of armed aggression. To subject them to military lockdown, house-to-house searches, intimidation, and verbal abuse immediately after a violent attack is unacceptable under any circumstances. Such actions deepen the wounds of the victims, create fear among civilians, and destroy whatever little trust remains between the people and the security forces.

The harassment of women, children, the elderly, and traumatised villagers cannot be justified in the name of security. Security operations must never become collective punishment. The rule of law must be applied equally to all citizens and all communities. If the Government is truly committed to peace and justice, it must act against the real perpetrators of violence, not against the people who have already suffered from it.

The authorities must ensure that such intimidation and harassment of innocent civilians is stopped at once. The Government must also take immediate and concrete action against the NSCN-IM and its proxies responsible for the attack, and ensure justice for the three injured Kuki-Zo students and the affected villagers.

We reiterate that peace cannot be built through selective action, intimidation, or double standards. The Government must protect all citizens equally, uphold the rule of law without bias, and stop treating the Kuki people as targets while allowing armed aggressors to operate with impunity.

The Kuki-Zo people will not accept any action that punishes victims while shielding perpetrators.
