IMPHAL, Nov 25: The autopsy reports of three of the six individuals killed in Manipur’s Jiribam district by suspected arm militants have revealed multiple bullet injuries and lacerations on various parts of their bodies, officials confirmed on Sunday.

The report for three-year-old Chingkheinganba Singh indicated that his right eye was missing and he had a bullet wound in his skull. Additionally, the report noted cut wounds, fractures in the chest, and lacerations on the forearm and other areas of his body. The autopsy, conducted on November 17, also mentioned that the child’s body was in a “state of decomposition.” The cause of death, however, remains pending as authorities await the chemical analysis report of viscera from the Directorate of Forensic Sciences in Guwahati.

The post-mortem examinations were carried out at the Silchar Medical College Hospital (SMCH) in Assam’s Cachar district. The report also described the injuries sustained by his mother, L Heitonbi Devi (25), who had suffered three bullet wounds in the chest and one in the buttock. Her body was brought to SMCH on November 18, about seven days after her death.

In a similarly grim report, the body of the child’s grandmother, Y Rani Devi (60), showed signs of extensive gunshot wounds, including five bullet injuries — one in the skull, two in the chest, one in the abdomen, and one in the arm. Her body had been brought to SMCH on November 17, between three to five days after her death. The report also detailed deep lacerations on several parts of the bodies of both women. The cause of Rani Devi’s death is still pending, as authorities await the chemical analysis of her viscera.

The post-mortem reports for one more woman and two children who were also killed are still pending, officials added.

The six individuals, all from the Meitei community, had gone missing from a relief camp in Jiribam following a gunfight between security forces and suspected Kuki-Zo militants on November 11. The clash had resulted in the deaths of 10 individuals. The bodies of the missing individuals were later discovered in the Jiri River in Jiribam district and the nearby Barak River in Assam’s Cachar over the next few days.
