End notes:
- Present Manipur in the Northeastern part of India bordering Myanmar was annexed by the then Indian Dominion in 1949. There is armed liberation movement directed at overthrowing Indian administrative structure established in Manipur. While war between Indian forces and Manipur liberation forces continues, Manipur also witnesses conflict between communal forces and progressive forces.

- In Baby Lungningla Elizabeth case the CBI had said that delays in the investigation (for about four years) were due to lack of cooperation from the Manipur Government and the negotiations with Naga militant outfit NSCN (I-M) to "release" accused James Kuki, whom it had taken into its "custody" for "investigating the case".
