The Manipur High Court has granted a one-month extension for the National Investigation Agency (NIA) to file a chargesheet in the unresolved Jiribam slughter case, which has been pending for over eight months. This case pertains to the abduction and slughter of six individuals, including three minors, that occurred in November 2024. The decision was made during a hearing on Public Interest Litigation (PIL) No. 18 of 2024, which was consolidated with Miscellaneous Case (PIL) No. 28 of 2025. The court described the incident as “grave and shocking.” The NIA submitted two sealed cover reports outlining the status of the investigation, which have been ordered to be kept in the custody of the Registrar General until further notice. The case was assigned to the NIA several months ago, and the agency is in the process of preparing the chargesheet in accordance with the Criminal Procedure Code and the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.
