The Kuki Students Organisation-Sadar Hills (KSO-SH) has threatened to call indefinite bandh in Sadar Hills including the national highways if the state government fail to find out and book the culprits involved in the kidnapping and the subsequent murder of the two Kukis.
The two Kukis who had gone missing since April 29 were found dead at Kamu Ching, a hillock near Nongpok Sekmai under Yairipok Police Station in Imphal East district early hours Wednesday.
The corpses were highly decomposed.
Seitinlal Kipgen, 50, hailed from Bongbal Khullen in Saikul sub-division in Sadar Hills, Senapati district and Tongkhosal Haokip, 35, a native of Masenjang village in Churachandpur district had been reportedly kidnapped by unidentified persons from Nongpok Keithelmanbi near Kamu Ching on April 29 around 8 am and since then their whereabouts remained unknown.
Some locals spotted the highly decomposed bodies on the top of the small hill around 7 am, reports said.
The police are still clueless about the nature of the dead.
But they have started probing it.
Their bodies had been found amidst protest by several civil society organizations demanding their safe release.
Seitinlal owned a pharmacy at Nongpok Keithelmanbi before while Haokip had been working at Bongbal village as a carpenter.
