TENSION AFTER INDIAN’S BODY FOUND ON BORDER WITH MYANMAR

Tension ran high along the Manipur-Myanmar border following the recovery of a bullet-ridden body of an Indian. Police said that the body of Mohammad Kheruddin, a resident of Ward No. 5 Muslim Nagar of Moreh, Manipur border town, was recovered. Local residents said that Kheruddin was a daily wage earner. He had gone on Wednesday along with a friend for fishing along the Manipur-Myanmar border. Though the friend returned home Kheruddin failed to come back. One and a half years ago the elder brother of Kheruddin who had gone ostensibly to catch fish along the international border never returned home. On hearing of the recovery of Kheruddin's body police rushed to retrieve it. Officials said the body had been taken to Imphal for post mortem. So far no underground outfit has claimed responsibility for the killing.
