Pictures showing the bodies of two Meitei students from Manipur who went missing in July have surfaced on social media.
In one of the photos, the two can be seen sitting next to each other, with armed men in the background. In another photo, their bodies were seen lying on the ground.
After the images sparked an outrage, the Manipur government released a statement saying that the case has already been handed over to the CBI, NDTV reported.
The government vowed to take strict and decisive action against the perpetrators.
"The security forces have also started the search operation to nab the perpetrators. In response to this distressing situation, the government assures the public that swift and decisive action will be taken against all those involved in the kidnapping and killing," said the government.
