Days after being allegedly killed by an armed group, the body of a Thadou leader was found in an Assam river.

The body of Thadou community leader Nehkam Jomhao (59) was recovered from a river in Assam’s Karbi Anglong district five days after his abduction and killing on August 30. Jomhao, known for initiating peace efforts with Meitei groups, was allegedly targeted by members of an armed faction opposed to his reconciliation moves. Police have arrested six suspects, some linked to the Kuki Revolutionary Army (Assam), which operates under a ceasefire agreement. The incident has sent shockwaves through the Thadou community, which has long asserted a distinct ethnic identity separate from the broader Kuki grouping, and is feared to further strain inter-community relations in the backdrop of the ongoing Kuki–Meitei conflict in Manipur.
