The Kuki Inpi Jiribam, Tamenglong and Noney condemned Thursday’s early morning arson attack at Leikot Kuki village in Noney district, allegedly carried out by the rebel group NSCN-IM.
A day after several houses were set on fire in Manipur, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi slammed the Centre, saying the violence was the result of the Modi government's "divisive ideology."
Kuki organisation Kuki Inpi Manipur alleged the attack at Loibol Khullen village, in which the three were killed, was carried out by NSCN-IM and its "proxy" Zeliangrong United Front (Kamson faction).
Kuki organisation urged the Central Government and security agencies to immediately investigate the incident, identify and apprehend those responsible, and ensure that justice is delivered swiftly.
The ethnic violence in Manipur has left over 250 people dead and displaced an estimated 60,000 others while a large number of the displaced are still living in relief camps.
