Top court seeks NIA probe status report on Jiribam killings

In a decisive ruling, the Supreme Court has tasked the National Investigation Agency (NIA) with presenting a comprehensive update on the ongoing investigation into the tragic extra-judicial killings of ten Kuki-Zo tribal youths in Jiribam last November. The court denied the request for a Special Investigation Team (SIT) under its supervision, affirming the NIA’s active role in the inquiry.
