New Delhi: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has arrested a militant of a banned insurgent group involved in the brutal killing of a woman and looting of houses in a village in Manipur’s Jiribam district last year, officials said on Monday.

They said Rajkumar Maipaksana was arrested from the Kannur district of Kerala and sent on transit remand by the NIA special court, Kochi, for production before the Imphal NIA court.

Hailing from Jiribam district, Rajkumar is associated with the proscribed insurgent group People’s Revolutionary Party of Kangleipak (PREPAK), a statement issued by the probe agency said.

He was among the key perpetrators of the crime, in which a woman, Zosangkim, was killed and several houses were set afire and looted in Zairawn village in November 2024, it said.

The NIA had last week arrested two other accused militants, belonging to different militant outfits, in the case.

The agency is continuing with its investigations and is hunting for the other perpetrators of the horrendous crime.

The 31-year-old tribal woman, who was killed on November 7, was subjected to third-degree torture and suffered 99 per cent burns, according to her autopsy report.

Several body parts and limbs of the victim were missing and viscera for chemical analysis could not be collected as most were charred and unrecognisable, according to the report.

“Right upper limb and parts of both lower limbs and the facial structure found missing,” it stated.

More than 260 people have been killed and thousands rendered homeless in the violence between the Imphal valley-based Meiteis and adjoining hills-based Kuki-Zo groups since May 2023.

The Centre imposed the President’s Rule in Manipur on February 13 this year after Chief Minister N Biren Singh resigned.

The violence started after a ‘Tribal Solidarity March’ was organised in the hill districts to protest against the Meitei community’s demand for the Scheduled Tribe (ST) status.

The ethnically diverse Jiribam, which was largely untouched by the clashes, witnessed violence after the mutilated body of a farmer was found in a field in June last year.
