The faces in the image are ordinary civilians from Taphou and Hengbung villages who remain unaccounted for amid the Senapati hostage crisis. Their families deserve truth, accountability, and safe return.
We express our strongest concern and condemnation over the deeply disturbing allegations that have emerged against Saloni Tony, identified as the President of the Senapati District Students’ Association (SDSA), in relation to incidents that have caused fear, trauma, and outrage among affected Kuki civilians during the ongoing ethnic conflict in Manipur.
Among the most disturbing allegations are reports linking him to the assault and mistreatment of women. Particularly concerning are claims that during the UNC-imposed three-day total shutdown (20–23 April 2026), he allegedly physically assaulted a Kuki woman from Hengbung village who was simply operating her small shop to support her livelihood and meet her daily needs.
He is also alleged to be among leaders reported to be involved in the kidnapping and unlawful detention of 25+ Kuki individuals from Taphou. These allegations are extremely serious in nature and strike at the very foundation of human dignity, justice, and the protection of civilian life during times of conflict.
Student leaders have a duty to protect, not terrorize. Such acts are a complete betrayal of leadership and an assault on basic human rights. Violence against women and the unlawful detention of civilians are crimes that cannot be excused by conflict, position, or ideology.
We condemn these alleged actions in the highest terms. There must be an immediate, impartial investigation. If found responsible, perpetrators must face full accountability under the law.
No student leader is above the law. No civilian should live in fear of those claiming to represent the public.

kidnapped by #ManipurKachaNaga SDSA backed by NSCN-IM are still missing, and their whereabouts remain unknown whether they are alive or dead.
As per yesterday’s agreement, the Kuki side released the hostages in good faith. However, the Manipur Naga side has failed to release all kidnapped victims. Despite this, the state government and security forces continue to remain silent. It would have been very different had the victims belonged to other communities.
We urge the authorities to take immediate action and ensure the safe return of the missing persons.

We urge the Government of India to urgently intervene and ensure the safe release of Thangtinlen, Thangminlen, Sehginlun, Paogouthang, Thanglenmang, Luntinlal, Hengunsei, Sehminhao, Haominlun, Lamgoulen, Paotinkai, Lunsei, Kaimang, and Tonggoulen. #Manipur
From terrorising women in Hengbung Kuki Village to orchestrating illegal abduction of Kuki civilians in Senapati, Mr Saloni Tony has built a disturbing record that warrants immediate investigation by @NIA_India& @CBIHeadquarters for his nexus and extraordinary link with NSCN-IM.
Manipur: Not satisfied with the killing of Kuki pastors, terrorist group NSCN-IM & its overground wing SDSA abducted Kukis in front of armed forces & they are still being held hostage. They must be released immediately. This is a ticking time bomb. Authorities must act swiftly.
A students’ organisation namely Senapati District Students Association abducting 3 college-going students and refusing to release them till date — isn’t this the highest level of atrocity and abuse of power?
Immediate intervention and justice are needed.

🚨 MANIPUR HOSTAGE CRISIS
❗It has come to light that amongst the 14 Kuki hostages still held captives by tangkhul led NSCN-IM operatives in collusion with Senapati District Students' Association (SDSA) Volunteers are 3 STUDENTS -
1. Hengunsei Khongsai - Age 17 ,
A student of Young Pillars College, Churachandpur, who is 38% permanently disabled (Muscular Dystrophy)
2. Tonggoulen Chongloi - Age 18,
A student of Eklavya Model Residential School(EMRS), Kangpokpi, who just cleared his Higher Sec. Board exam in captivity (he still is not aware)
3. Sehminhao Chongloi , Age 24
a student of Gunchu Institute for Competitive Exams.
❗It is appalling to even consider that a District Level Student body was involved in their abduction when it should've been doing the opposite, advocating for their safe release.
❗Also imperative to mention, their current conditions and whereabouts still remains unknown at the time of this post.
❗Why are Authorities turning a blind eye to the current Hostage Situation in Manipur?
❗Any other country, it'd have been National News by now!
❗Has the PM at least been made aware ?
❗Has the Home Minister?
❗Not a single word from any prominent Govt. Figure till now.
❗Are we living in a lawless country ?

Manipur📍
A 16-year-old Class XI student, Hengunsei Khongsai, who is 38% disabled and an orphan raised by his uncle, was allegedly kidnapped by NSCN-IM militants on 13 May 2026 while doing daily wage work during his school holidays. He is among the 14 hostages whose whereabouts remain unknown.
We urgently appeal to the Government of India, Ministry of Home Affairs, and security agencies to intervene immediately and ensure the safe rescue of all hostages. No child, especially a disabled minor struggling through poverty, should suffer such brutality. Silence will only embolden armed groups further.

🚨 KUKI CIVILIANS abducted on their way back from work and held HOSTAGE by volunteers of the Senapati District Students' Association (SDSA) along with the violent mob they instigated
The Hostages include :
‼️A 16 year old school going minor ‼️An 18 year old who just completed his Higher Sec. Board Exams and whose father recently passed away and hence is now the sole breadwinner in the family
‼️12 daily wage labourers who are also the sole breadwinners in their respective families.
They committed no crime other than wanting to provide for their family.
SDSA RELEASE THEM NOW!!

🚨 Disabled student taken as hostage by Student Association in Manipur Crisis
Among the Kuki hostages abducted in Senapati is Hengunsei Khongsai, a physically-disabled orphaned minor suffering from Muscular Dystrophy and certified with 38% permanent disability. Despite his condition, crushing poverty forced him to work daily wage labour during school holidays to support his family.
While returning from work, he and other Kuki civilians were allegedly kidnapped near Mt. Everest College Gate by volunteers of the Senapati District Students' Association (SDSA) in broad daylight even while under police escort and protection.
Concerned Authorities must treat the release of Hengunsei Khongsai and the other 13 Kuki Hostages as priority of the highest order so as to de-escalate the presently tense situation in Manipur.

Three Kuki Students were abducted and held hostage by the Senapati District Students' Association on 13th May 2026.
No idea about their whereabouts till now, concerned authorities must ensure their safety at the earliest.
#Manipur
Manipur :The agony of not knowing if they are safe, if they are healthy, or if they are even ALIVE. No family should endure this nightmare. We cannot let this become a forgotten headline. We demand their immediate release‼️#BringThemHome@adgpi@crpfindia@HMOIndia@PMOIndia

Church Pastors ambushed this morning, 3 confirmed dead.
Such heinous crime is totally uncalled for.
Spare the innocents, especially those without arms.
Thoughts and prayers 🙏
"Manipur is only for #Meitei. " this is from the President of so-called FOCS/F*CKS that carried out what they claim to be peace rally, yesterday.!
It's foolish for anyone to expect #Kukis to give free passes to them in our #AncestralLand.
