The bodies of the 6 individuals will not be claimed until their demands are met, he affirmed.

Meanwhile, the body of Kh Athouba of Sorok Atingbi Kamranga, who was shot dead by special commando senior SP Sanjenbam Nectar on November 17 has been taken to Silchar Medical College for the post mortem, while Keisham Bison of Jiribam Bidyanagar, injured in the same firing incident, has been shifted from Silchar Medical College to Guwahati.
