"Want Your Daughter Dead Or Alive?": Mother Of Murdered Manipur Woman

Manipur: "Do you want your daughter dead or alive," said the voice at the other end. It was a woman. The mother was not really being given a choice. Later, they were informed that her daughter was dead.

A phone call to find her daughter's whereabouts was a spine-chilling experience for a tribal woman in Manipur. "Do you want your daughter dead or alive," said the voice at the other end. It was a woman. The mother was not really being given a choice. Later, they were informed that her daughter was dead. Her blood and hair were found plastered on the walls of  a building in Imphal.

The family is yet to receive the body. "I still cannot accept the fact and I still sometimes hope that my daughter will return because I haven't seen her with my own eyes. Even right now her dad is still at the hospital in Senapati. I still cannot believe what happened to my daughter.," the woman told NDTV in an exclusive interview.

Her daughter was one of the two young women who were gangraped and murdered at a car wash on the evening of May 5, two days after ethnic violence broke out in Manipur.
