Fresh ethnic clashes in India's Manipur after six bodies found


India's north-eastern state of Manipur is on high alert after authorities recovered the bodies of six women and children, who reportedly belonged to the majority Meitei community.


Meitei groups have alleged that they were kidnapped and murdered by armed groups of the minority Kuki group. The police, however, have not confirmed this.


The news sparked a fresh wave of violent protests, prompting authorities to snap internet services in some parts of the state over the weekend.
