🚨SELECTIVE AMNESIA:
Tracing the Genesis of the Tangkhul-Kuki Hostage Crisis.
■The Catalyst: The First Abduction.
March 11, 2026: The vicious cycle of abduction & retaliatory abduction was set in motion when the Tangkhul-led NSCN-IM Terrorists abducted two Kuki civilians, Thangboi &Thengin while they were repairing their village water pipeline in Ukhrul.
In a direct retaliatory response aimed at securing their release, the Kukis detained 21 Tangkhul individuals.
■The Turning Point: Execution of Hostages.
Who spilled the first blood?
The first blood was spilled on March 11 when the Tangkhul led NSCN-IM Terrorists brutally tortured & executed the two Kuki hostages.
■The Contrast in Captivity:
Acting on assurances of safety from Tangkhul CSOs & the Manipur Govt, the Kukis demonstrated a profound commitment to humanity & restraint, actively choosing de-escalation promptly released all 21 captives in the pursuit of Peace.
■The following day, however, the mutilated, disfigured & lifeless bodies of the two Kuki hostages were discovered.
🚨The Aftermath: Divergent Responses to the tragedy:
The Kuki Response: Kuki CSOs immediately issued widespread condolences, condemned the killing of 6 Manipur Nagas & demanded a fair, impartial investigation to bring the perpetrators to justice.
The Tangkhul Response: Conversely, Tangkhul CSOs, including the TKL & UNC stormed the CM's office following the Manipur Govt's decision to hand over the kidnapping & murder case of the two kukis to the NIA. The Tangkhul CSOs expressed "strong reservation over the NIA handover" & demanded the immediate withdrawal of the NIA investigation into the barbaric killings.
■To make matters even more repulsive, even before the Mutilated corpses of the victims could be recovered & their families given the most basic dignity of grief & a moment to mourn, the Tangkhul CSO Khanuithot Khon issued a Chilling "Quit Notice" to the bereaved families, warning them that they would suffer the same brutal fate as their murdered husbands & fathers if they do not comply.
■March 20, 2026: In the official directive to NIA, the Ministry of Home Affairs (Counter Terrorism & Counter Radicalization Division) explicitly said, "the Central Government is of the Opinion that NSCN-IM, a TERRORIST Gang" perpetrated the attack to deliberately "Strike Terror & panic in the minds of people."
The MHA issued an order declaring the incident a "scheduled offence" with "national ramifications" & mandated the NIA to assume full control of the investigation to uncover the broader conspiracy.
This shifts the case of kidnapping and murder of Thengin & Thangboimang from a local law-and-order into the realm of national security & terrorism.
■March 17, 2026: SP Ukhrul (Babitarani Swain, IPS) sends a progress report to the DGP of Manipur. The investigation officially establishes that the NSCN-IM planned & executed the kidnapping, attack & Murders of the two Kukis.
🚨 True reconciliation cannot be achieved through selective amnesia. The Kukis set the standard for Mercy & Humanity but the Tangkhuls redefined the standard for Brutality & Savagery.
Let History records the truth: The bloody & destructive precedent was set entirely by the Tangkhuls, not the Kukis!

Look at the spikes! 😲No wonder in many videos Tangkhul women are seen jabbing at our jawans. Clearly, the length of the bamboo also seems to be a deliberate design choice, allowing them to strike or burn a target from a distance, which raises questions about the intent of use.
📍Pongringlong Manipur
Around 6am today (8 June 2026), a fierce gunfight took place between NSCN-IM & its stooges ZUF-K and ZUF Tiger force. It’s reported that one person is still missing. Time for Zeliangrong people to wake up against Tangkhul NSCN-IM as they are instigators.
I strongly condemned the attack and burning of Loibol Khulen Kuki village, Bungte Chiru Sub-division, Kangpokpi district this early morning by suspected ZUF-K militants. Three innocent villagers including an elderly woman were killed and 7 houses burnt to ashes. The perpetrators must not walk scot-free at any cost.
@BJP4India Govt has not even a minute control over the state affairs; let loose any terrorist groups to kill innocents at their own whims & fancy; incites hatred & communalism among different communities in the state.
Enough is enough..!

Strong Condemnation of the Attack on #Loibol Khulen Village
We strongly condemn the brutal attack carried out in Loibol Khulen Kuki Village under Bungte Chiru Sub-Division, Kangpokpi District, in the early hours of this morning by suspected ZUF-K militants. This senseless act of violence has claimed the lives of three innocent villagers, including an elderly woman, and left seven homes reduced to ashes.
The killing of innocent civilians and the destruction of their homes is an inhumane act that violates every principle of humanity and justice. Families who were peacefully living in their village have now been left devastated, grieving the loss of their loved ones and struggling to cope with the destruction of their properties.
We call upon the Government of India, the Government of Manipur, and all concerned security agencies to immediately investigate this heinous incident, bring the perpetrators to justice, and ensure the safety and security of vulnerable villages. The lives of innocent civilians must never become targets of armed violence.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the bereaved families who have lost their loved ones in this tragic attack. We stand in solidarity with the people of Loibol Khulen and demand justice for the victims. Those responsible must be identified, arrested, and punished according to the law.
Violence against innocent civilians can never be justified. Peace, security, and justice must prevail.
