Imphal: Two suspected members of a Manipur-based insurgent group were allegedly shot dead in Vangli village along the Indo-Myanmar border on Wednesday.
Sources said the dead have been identified as self-proclaimed Major Yaiphaba and Captain Jirilakpa, who are said to be leaders of the outlawed United National Liberation Front (UNLF).
According to sources, residents of Vangali and Khenman villages along the Indo-Myanmar border near Churachandpur district heard gunshots on Wednesday afternoon.
Later, the two men were found lying in a pool of blood in Vangali village. However, the reason for the murder is yet to be known.
Another source said the incident took place on the Myanmar side, so the police would not claim the bodies.
