According to the information received, on 25 December 2014, eight human skulls and skeletal remains were found in the compound of the former Tombisana High School in Imphal Town, Manipur, during the excavation works for a new complex on the school site. In the past, the school was reportedly used by police forces engaged in counter-insurgency operations against organizations fighting for Manipur’s political self-determination. Human rights organizations reported cases of enforced disappearances in Manipur between 1980 and 2011. Although the remains have allegedly been handed over to the Central Bureau of Investigation, the Manipur High Court reportedly failed to issue the requested interim order that would halt the excavation works at the site.
