After 4 months, body of soldier's mother traced to hospital mortuary

Imphal: After nearly four months of extensive search, the body of the mother of a soldier, alleged to have been abducted by cadres owing allegiance to Arambhai Tenngol in November last year, has been traced and is at present in the mortuary of an Imphal hospital, officials said here on Friday.
The officials said the remains of Rifleman H Hoakip's mother, identified as Nengkim (60), are in the Imphal hospital and the Army was making all-out efforts to shift it to Leimakhing Military Hospital (LMS) from where it would be taken to Churachandpur for last rites.
Hoakip, who was posted in Jammu and Kashmir sector, is at present on leave with his father, who escaped the brutal assault that took place on November 7 at Kangchup Chingkhong village in Manipur's Kangpokpi district. The family was going to Leimakhong.
On that day, Manipur Police had tweeted that a vehicle carrying five individuals belonging to a particular community (2 women and 3 men) en route from Churachandpur to Leimakhong was confronted by an enraged mob at Kangchup Chingkhong. The mob forcibly took away four of them, while one escaped. His father, identified as Manglun Haokip, was located by the army in a bad condition and he was airlifted to Base Hospital Guwahati after initial treatment at Leimakhing Military Hospital. PTI
