Another body of the three men, who were killed in B Gamnom village shootout, has been claimed from JNIMS morgue today.
Family members identified the deceased as Maisnam Abungcha (26) s/o M Tombi of Naransena Maning Leikai, Moirang.

On the other hand, post mortem examinations of other two cadres identified as Nameirakpam Rajen (40) s/o N Muhindro of Sunu Siphai Awang Leikai and Paolen Khongsai of Hengjang village were conducted yesterday.
While body of Rajen was claimed yesterday, Paolin's body is still lying at JNIMS morgue as family members and villagers of B Gamnom village have refused to claim it stating that Paolin was a Church secretary and an innocent civilian.
They demanded the Government to take action against the involved security personnel within 48 hours.
It may be mentioned that Kuki Inpi, Sadar Hills along with various other Kuki bodies conducted a joint meeting regarding the incident on May 24 last.
Participants and talkers of the meeting said that Paolin, who was at the Church construction site, initially received a bullet injury in the alleged indiscriminate firing of security forces.
Claiming that the incident was a fake encounter, Kuki bodies alleged that Paolin was shot dead after he was injured.
It may be mentioned that the reported 'encounter' took place
on May 23 .
