Protesters clashed with security forces in Manipur's Kangpokpi district after the mutilated bodies of two missing youths were found in adjoining Senapati, prompting the law enforcers to fire tear gas shells and baton-charge the agitators to disperse them, police said on Monday. The bodies were found stuffed in gunny bags in a banana farm during an operation to trace the two youths, identified as T. Chongloi (21) and Paoginlal Hangsing (20), who went missing from Taphou Kuki village on October 29. Deputy Chief Ministers Nemcha Kipgen and Losii Dikho condemned the killings. The Committee on Tribal Unity (CoTU) has demanded the resignation of Dikho over the incident. It also sought the transfer of Taphou Kuki Village from the jurisdiction of Senapati Superintendent of Police (SP) to the Kangpokpi SP. The committee said the bodies would not be taken to the village for final rites till the perpetrators were arrested.
