Manipur transfers Jiribam violence cases to NIA amid concerns

Imphal, Nov 16: The Manipur government has handed over three high-profile cases of recent violence in the Jiribam district to the National Investigation Agency (NIA), following directives from the Union Home Ministry.

The NIA has registered the cases under provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), the Arms Act, and Section 20 of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UA(P) Act). In compliance with the investigation process, the Special Court NIA Manipur has directed the Jiribam and Borobekra police stations to transfer all relevant documents, materials, and exhibits to the NIA.
