Johnson said the police report on arresting of eight KRF members in connection with the killing needs authentication.
"We just cannot accept such reports straight," he said.
The UCM leader declared that the Manipur Government should not take it for granted that the matter will be settled by arresting eight KRF cadres for the killing of the two labourers.
He said it is high time that the State Government abstained from its habit of paying compensation to the next of kin every time a person is killed.
"If appropriate steps are not taken up by the Government on right time, Manipur could face a very dangerous situation soon.
Manipur could be in flame," Johnson cautioned.

Johnson alleged that there are certain groups who are trying to incite communal tension in the State.
AMUCO vice president, who was also present during the press meet suspected certain policies of the Government of India that might be the main cause for the current incident.
"We suspect if the Government is using underground groups which are under suspension of operation arrangement to flare up communal violence," he said.
He demanded the Government to book the commander of the KRF designated camp and all involved in the heinous crime and punish them as per the law.
Meanwhile, a team of AMSU visited RIMS where Konthoujam Bishal has been undergoing treatment after he was brutally assaulted by the KRF.
Union secretary general Sarangthem Manjit demanded the State Government to book all the KRF members involved in the killing of Moirangthem Dayananda (18) and Maibam Premananda (18) and the assault on Bishal.
"If strict punishment is not given to the KRF cadres, we will launch intense agitation," he warned.
