A Kuki woman who survived a gang rape during the 2023 ethnic violence in Manipur, India, has died on January 10, 2026. The assault occurred in May 2023, shortly after clashes erupted between the Meitei and Kuki communities. According to her family, she never recovered from the physical and psychological trauma of the attack. The Indigenous Tribal Leaders Forum (ITLF) announced a candlelight vigil in her memory, stating that she had been abducted from Imphal, raped in Langol, and left in Bishnupur to die.
The woman, then 20, had filed a police complaint on July 21, 2023, describing how four armed men in black shirts abducted her and three of them raped her. Kuki groups alleged that some members of Meira Paibi handed her over to Meitei men. Her mother told NewsLaundry that the injuries caused severe breathing problems and that her daughter had lost her cheerful nature after the incident. She had been receiving treatment in Guwahati before her death.
The 2023 ethnic violence between the Meitei and Kuki communities over land rights and political representation left more than 260 people dead and displaced about 50,000 others.
