Shocking Disappearance: Manipur HC Urgently Forms Panel to Investigate 56-Year-Old Man’s Vanishing from Army Camp

Manipur High Court Orders Investigation into Missing Person from Army Camp

Imphal: The Manipur High Court has mandated the formation of a four-member committee to investigate the disappearance of Laishram Kamalbabu Singh, a 56-year-old works supervisor who went missing from an army camp at Leimakhong in Kangpokpi district on November 25.

The directive, issued by a division bench comprising Chief Justice D Krishnakumar and Justice Golmei Gaiphulsillu Kabui, aims to uncover the circumstances surrounding Singh’s disappearance. The committee is to comprise the District Magistrate of Kangpokpi district, the Superintendent of Police of Kangpokpi, the Superintendent of Police of Imphal West, and the Commanding Officer of the 57 Mountain Division. The District Magistrate will lead the investigation, tasked with determining whether Singh was abducted or fled on his own.

The court emphasized the need for the petitioner’s family to collaborate with the committee, urging them to provide any relevant materials or records. A notice will be served to the family, inviting them to participate in the enquiry.

Laishram Kamalbabu Singh, originally from Cachar district in Assam and residing in Khukrul, Imphal West, was employed by a contractor working with the Military Engineering Services (MES) at the Leimakhong Military Station. His younger brother, Laishram Brajabanshi Singh, lodged a writ petition on November 27, alleging that Kamalbabu was kidnapped by militants from the high-security area.

The committee’s findings are to be presented to the court at the next hearing scheduled for December 11.
