After new protests in the state over the brutal killing of two students by people thought to be armed men, Manipur shut down mobile internet services again on Tuesday for five days. On Tuesday, a lot of students took to the streets and marched to the home of chief minister N Biren Singh, asking justice for the victims. There was chaos after pictures of the bodies of two students went popular on social media.
Because of the protests, all schools in the state will also be closed tomorrow (September 27).
Administrative officials said that internet services had been cut off because of the current state of law and order and to try to stop the spread of false information, rumors, and other dangerous activities.
The notice said, “The state government has decided to slow down or stop mobile internet data services and internet/data services through VPN in the territory of the state of Manipur for five days, starting right away and ending at 7:45 pm on October 10.”
After being shut down for almost five months after the May bloodshed, the state’s Internet services were just recently brought back.
One of the pictures showed a 20-year-old man and a 17-year-old girl sitting in what looked like the makeshift camp of an armed group in the bush. In the picture, you could also see two guys standing behind them with guns. During the worst of the racial bloodshed in July, they went missing.
Both of the students’ bodies are lying on the ground in the next shot. The man’s head didn’t seem to be there. They were taken on July 8, which is two days after the two kids went missing.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is in charge of the case, according to the office of the chief minister. The state government has promised “swift and firm” action against the criminals.
