The Supreme Court has agreed to review audio recordings allegedly implicating Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh in communal violence between the Meitei and Kuki communities. The recordings suggest his involvement in promoting insurgency and allowing arms looting. The court seeks verification of the recordings’ authenticity amid opposing views on the ongoing investigation.
The Central Government informed the Jharkhand High Court of the presence of illegal Bangladeshi immigrants in the state, entered via Sahebgunj and Pakur districts. The affidavit also addressed tribal land transfers to Muslims and the decline in the tribal population due to conversions and outward migration. The court directed the government to verify credentials rigorously.
