Overview
- Family members say the 20-year-old died in January after prolonged complications from injuries and psychological trauma stemming from a May 15, 2023 abduction and gang-rape.
- According to the FIR, she was seized from an ATM in Imphal’s New Checkon area, assaulted at multiple locations including Wangkhei Ayanpali, taken to a Bishnupur hilltop and raped, then escaped with help from an auto-rickshaw driver.
- Allegations in the complaint implicate Meira Paibis and members of Arambai Tenggol in detaining and handing her over to armed men; Meitei women leaders have rejected the claims as baseless.
- A zero FIR was filed on July 21, 2023 and the case moved to the CBI the next day, yet no arrests or substantive public updates have been reported more than two years later.
- Medical records note severe injuries and multiple surgeries, including one in Guwahati on October 25, 2025; the family received Rs 10 lakh in compensation as vigils and ITLF statements renewed calls for a separate administration.
