In this investigative report by The Wire, we explore audio recordings that allegedly implicate Chief Minister N. Biren Singh in the ongoing violence in Manipur, where over 60,000 people have been displaced and 226 lives lost. These recordings suggest that Singh may have played a direct role in the unrest, with discussions on the use of force and inflammatory remarks targeting the Kuki community. The tapes, part of a larger investigation by our National Affairs Editor, Sangeeta Barooah Pisharoty, raise serious questions about the government's involvement in the deepening communal divide in the region. Watch to uncover the details of this investigation and hear from Sangeeta herself about the challenges faced in bringing this story to light.
