According to the police report, the couple was later spotted by armed Kuki militants who took them to an unknown destination before executing them.
As per the initial probe, the couple, who were in a relationship, had eloped on July 6. They were spotted at a stone quarry near Laika before reaching Jouzangtek. Around 8am, Singh picked up the girl from her tuition centre at Keishampat Mutum Leikhai in Imphal.

BJP chief JP Nadda was moved to safety after a fire erupted in a pandal in Pune.

BJP president J P Nadda was safely evacuated from a Lord Ganesh pandal in Pune where a fire broke out when he was offering prayers along with the party's Maharashtra unit chief Chandrashekhar Bawankule on Tuesday evening, police said.
Visuals from the scene showed Nadda being safely escorted out of the venue even as the fire engulfed the top portion of the makeshift pandal in the Lokmanya Nagar area in the heart of the city.
No casualty was reported in the incident.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (Zone III) Suhail Sharma said after the fire broke out during Nadda's visit to the Ganesh pandal, "police officers at duty immediately responded with local support and fire brigade units were deployed".
A fire brigade official said the blaze may have been caused by fireworks at the pandal set up by the Sane Guruji Ganesh Mitra Mandal.
Pune city BJP president Dhiraj Ghate and security personnel were seen taking Nadda out of the pandal, a replica of Ujjain's famous Mahakaleshwar Temple.
As soon as the fire broke out, rains started in the area which helped douse the flames.
DCP Sharma said the BJP president left the spot to attend 'aarti' at another Lord Ganesh pandal in the Kothrud area of the city.
"The fire was successfully contained and no person sustained injuries," he added.

ISKCON 'biggest cheat', sells cows to butchers: Maneka Gandhi

BJP MP Maneka Gandhi said in a viral video that ISKCON sells cows to butchers.

A video has gone viral in which BJP MP Maneka Gandhi can be heard saying that the &nbsp;International Society for Krishna Consciousness or ISKCON is the biggest cheat in the country.
"ISKCON is the biggest cheat in the country. It maintains gaushalas and get benefits from the government, including vast lands," she is heard saying.
She said ISKCON sells all its cows to the butchers and they go on and sing 'Hare Ram Hare Krishna' on the roads.
"ISKCON is selling all its cows to the butchers. No one else does this as much they do. And they go on and sing 'Hare Ram Hare Krishna' on the roads. Then they say their entire life is dependent on milk. Probably, no one has sold as many cattle to the butchers as they did," she alleged.
Terming the allegations unsubstantiated and false, ISKCON said that the cows and bulls are served for their life not sold to butchers.

S Jaishankar has said that India has asked Canada to share specfic information about the murder of Hardeep Singh Nijjar

'Not India's policy': Jaishankar on charges of involvement in Hardeep Singh Nijjar' killing

S Jaishankar has said that India has asked Canada to share specfic information about the murder of Hardeep Singh Nijjar

In the wake of Canada&rsquo;s allegations about India&rsquo;s &ldquo;potential&rdquo; involvement in the killing of a Khalistani separatist on its soil, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has said that New Delhi conveyed to Ottawa that it is not the government of India&rsquo;s policy and it is open to looking at &ldquo;specific&rdquo; and &ldquo;relevant&rdquo; information in the case.
&ldquo;Yes, I do have a comment. I&rsquo;ll share with you very frankly what we told the Canadians,&rdquo; Jaishankar said during a conversation at the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) here Tuesday when asked if he had any comment on the allegations by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau that &ldquo;agents&rdquo; of the government of India are linked to the killing of a Canadian Sikh.
"One, we told the Canadians that this is not the government of India&rsquo;s policy. Two, we told the Canadians saying that look, if you have something specific, if you have something relevant, let us know. We are open to looking at it,&rdquo; he said during a conversation with former US Ambassador to India and CFR Distinguished Fellow Kenneth Juster, in his first public comments on the issue.
Jaishankar asserted that one has to understand the context also because the &ldquo;picture is not complete&rdquo; without the context of it.
&ldquo;You also have to appreciate that in the last few years, Canada actually has seen a lot of organised crime relating to the secessionist forces, organised crime, violence, extremism. They're all very, very deeply mixed up,&rdquo; he said.
The minister said India has been talking about &ldquo;specifics and information&rdquo;.
&ldquo;We have actually been badgering the Canadians, we have given them a lot of information about organised crime leadership, which operates out of Canada. There are a large number of extradition requests. There are terrorist leaders who have been identified,&rdquo; he said, adding that one has to understand that there is an &ldquo;environment out there&rdquo;.
&ldquo;That is important in a way to factor in if you have to understand what is going on out there. And our concern is that it's really been very permissive because of political reasons. So we have a situation where actually our diplomats are threatened, our consulates have been attacked and often comments are made about &lsquo;there's interference in our politics&rsquo;. And, a lot of this is often justified as saying, well, that's how democracies work,&rdquo; Jaishankar said When asked by Juster whether the government of India will cooperate with Canada if there are specific pieces of evidence provided to it, Jaishankar said, &ldquo;If somebody gives me something specific, it doesn't have to be restricted to Canada, but if there is any incident which is an issue and somebody gives me something specific, as a government I would look at it. Of course, I would look into it.&rdquo; Trudeau said in the Canadian Parliament that &ldquo;Canadian security agencies have been actively pursuing credible allegations of a potential link between agents of the government of India and the killing&rdquo; of Khalistani extremist Hardeep Singh Nijjar on Canadian soil on June 18 in British Columbia, a charge angrily rejected by New Delhi as "absurd" and "motivated".
Jaishankar was asked about reports that intelligence about the killing was shared amongst the Five Eyes, the intelligence-sharing alliance of Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States and that the FBI is telling Sikh leaders in the US that there are credible threats to them.
&ldquo;I'm not part of the Five Eyes. I'm certainly not part of the FBI. You are asking the wrong person,&rdquo; Jaishankar said.
He was then asked about Canadians providing documents to India that purported to show evidence that Indian officials in Canada were aware of the attack on Nijjar.
&ldquo;Are you saying the Canadians gave us documents,&rdquo; Jaishankar asked.
&ldquo;I have said that if somebody gives us specific or relevant information, we are prepared to look at it,&rdquo; he added.
When asked again if he had not received those intercepted communications from Canada, Jaishankar replied, &ldquo;If I had, would I not be looking at it?&rdquo;

'Not part of Five Eyes or FBI': Jaishankar dismissed question on Canada's allegations | Watch

EAM S Jaishankar dismissed a question from a journalist in the US on Canada's allegations, saying he was not part of the Five Eyes.

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar responded to a question asked at the Council of Foreign Relations in the United States on Canada's allegations against India based on intelligence from the Five Eyes.&nbsp;
Jaishankar told the journalist he was not the right person to ask the question.
"I am not part of the Five Eyes. I am not certainly part of the FBI. So you are asking the wrong person," Jaishankar said.
The Five Eyes is an intelligence alliance among five countries: Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States.&nbsp;
This comes amid the ongoing tensions between India and Canada over Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar's killing.

Protests against the killing of two students by militants in Manipur continued on Wednesday

Protests in Imphal for second day against students' killings

Protests against the killing of two students by militants in Manipur continued on Wednesday

Protest rallies erupted in the streets of Imphal with thousands of students sloganeering against the kidnapping and killing of two youths for the second consecutive day on Wednesday.
On the other hand, the women wing of Indigenous Tribal Leaders Forum (ITLF), the apex Kuki body, staged a demonstration in Churachandpur against the delay of ordering CBI inquiry into the killing and rape of tribals during the nearly five-month-long ethnic violence in Manipur.
Manipur Police, CRPF and RAF personnel were seen deployed in strength throughout Imphal Valley in anticipation of possible protests and violence.
"We are holding a peaceful protest against the kidnapping and killing of fellow students and we have asked everyone to wear black badges as a mark of protest," said Thokchom Khogendro Singh, a student leader.
Police officials said they are "keeping a track of the situation".

On the other hand, ITLF women's wing convenor Mary Jone, who led the protests in Churachandpur, wondered why such inquiries were not initiated into the killings and rapes of Kukis.
"This rally is against the prompt action of the CBI into the killing of the two teenagers, who were in love and had eloped. However, there were many incidents of tribal women being raped, paraded naked and our men being killed but no CBI inquiry was conducted.
"Why this bias against us? We demand CBI inquiry into incidents of violence against tribals," she said.
The rally, in which several thousands of women took part, started at Lamka public ground, went through Tipaimukh Road and I B Road and converged at the site for Wall of Remembrance where dummy coffins of the people killed in the ethnic violence are kept.
A clash occurred on Tuesday night between RAF personnel and locals protesting the killing of two students, who had been missing since July 6, prompting the law enforcers to lob tear gas shells and fire rubber bullets at the agitators and baton-charge them, leaving 45 of the protesters, mostly students, injured.
Although the state government has declared a holiday for schools on Wednesday, students of some Imphal-based institutions vowed to congregate at their schools.
Following the clashes, the state government has re-imposed a ban on internet mobile services with immediate effect till 7.45 pm of October 1 to prevent the spread of misinformation and rumours.
It was recently lifted after more than four months of imposition on May 3 when the ethnic clashes began.
The state government has declared a holiday for schools on September 27 and 29 in view of the prevailing law and order situation, with September 28 being a public holiday in view of Milad Un-Nabi (Prophet Muhammad's birthday).
More than 175 people have been killed and several hundreds injured since ethnic clashes broke out in the northeastern state on May 3, when a 'Tribal Solidarity March' was organised in the hill districts to protest against the majority Meitei community's demand for Scheduled Tribe status.
Meiteis account for about 53 per cent of Manipur's population and live mostly in the Imphal valley, while tribals, including Nagas and Kukis, constitute 40 per cent and reside mostly in the hill districts.&nbsp;

Minor house help 'stripped, forced to lick own blood' by Army major, wife in Assam

An Army major and his wife have been arrested in Assam for allegedly torturing domestic help.

An Army major and his wife have been arrested in Assam's Dima Hasao district for allegedly torturing their domestic help, a top police officer said on Tuesday.
Dima Hasao SP Mayank Kumar said they received information on Sunday that the minor girl, who had accompanied the couple to Palampur in Himachal Pradesh, was "tortured brutally". According to a NDTV report quoting sources, the girl's medical report revealed a fractured nose and deep cuts on her tongue. She was allegedly starved by the couple, who would make her eat from the garbage bin when she asked for food.&nbsp; "She kept me locked me in a room, pulled my hair, and beat me. She was angry with my efficiency in household chores and beat me with a belan (rolling pin). She would strip me. She would beat me, and when I bled, she forced me to lick my own blood," the girl recounted the horror.
Mr Kumar said a case has been registered at the Haflong Police Station under different sections of the Indian Penal Code, the SC and ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.
"During investigation, prima facie evidence was found against the Army major and his wife, and they were arrested in connection with the case and forwarded to judicial custody," the SP said.
He added that necessary assistance is being provided to the girl, including medical treatment.

Video of RAF's casteist remark to protesters manipulated: Manipur Police

The RAF has denied making casteist remarks against protesters in Imphal who were agitating over the killing of two Meitei students.

The CRPF/RAF has refuted making casteist remarks while dealing with demonstrators protesting the killing of two students who had been missing since July 6, Manipur Police has said.
The clarification came after a video went viral where an RAF personnel was allegedly heard stating, "It's not our community, do whatever you want (humara jaati nahi hain, kuch bhi karo," made rounds on social media inviting widespread condemnation from social media users.
In a post on 'X' on Tuesday night, police said, "A video is being circulated on WhatsApp groups/Twitter showing that RAF personnel while dealing with violent mob are passing casteist remarks. The voice in the clip is not of RAF personnel. It appears that video maker has intentionally recorded casteist remarks in his own voice to tarnish the image of RAF troops. The alleged video has been made to defame and discourage the RAF personnel who are performing their duty with high level of dedication and sincerity." "RAF personnel remained deployed in different parts of Imphal city for law and order duty throughout the day and even during night hours. RAF personnel works on the principle of use of minimum force and graded response to the situation" it said.
"The RAF troops has been diligently serving the nation and playing a pivotal role in restoration of law and order situation in Manipur," it added.
