The bodies of three women were brought to a morgue in Assam's Silchar on Friday, amid tension in neighbouring Manipur's Jiribam district after three women and three children were taken hostage by suspected Kuki militants on Monday.
The bodies are yet to be identified, sources at the morgue who have seen the bodies told NDTV. The morgue is at Silchar Medical College and Hospital (SMHC), some 50 km from Jiribam. The bodies were brought to the morgue at 7 pm on Friday, sources said, adding autopsies of bodies found in Jiribam are done in SMHC due to lack of proper infrastructure in the town.
An infant and a two-and-half-year old child are among the three children who were taken hostage on Monday. The three women hostages include the mother of the two younger children. All are from the Meitei community.
