The photo shows the two students (17-year-old and 20-year-old) sitting on the grassy campus of an armed group’s makeshift jungle camp. One of them is a girl and the other is a boy. The girl is seen in white T-shirt while the boy is in check shirt. Two men with guns are clearly visible standing behind them. In the next photo their bodies are seen lying on the ground.
This is the second gruesome case that has come to light after the video of Kuki women being paraded naked in Manipur. The video of the naked parade of Kuki women could also be seen only after a month. Those women were gang-raped and their family members were killed by the mob in front of them.
