Audio Recording Leak Reveals Disturbing Claims by Manipur Chief Minister Biren Singh; DIPR Clarifies as ‘Doctored Audio’

The KSO General Headquarters has obtained a highly disturbing audio recording purportedly featuring Manipur Chief Minister Biren Singh. In the recording, Singh is heard making alarming admissions about orchestrating violence against the Kuki-Zo people under the guise of "saving Meitei Civilization."

Key revelations from the recording include:

Ethnic Cleansing Admission: Singh admits to initiating a campaign of violence against the Kuki-Zo people, stating, "We (the Meiteis) are all finished. I foresaw the downfall of the Meiteis which is why I started this (Ethnic Cleansing)." (9:10 mins)

Use of Force: Singh reportedly directed state forces to the conflict zone, saying, "I am the one who had sent, directed, and ordered the state forces and commandos to the war zone (the hills)." (1:29 mins)

Looted Arms: He boasts about the unchecked looting of arms, claiming, "The 4000-5000 guns and arms that were looted till now... it's all because of Me and my power." (2:49 mins & 40:53 mins)

Manipulation of the NIA: Singh allegedly instructed the NIA to reward rather than punish perpetrators, stating, "I told the NIA sleuths who arrested the perpetrators not to punish them but to reward them for saving their lives." (11:45 mins)

Collaboration with Insurgent Groups: Singh proposes uniting valley-based insurgent groups with police forces, suggesting, "Let us unite all the valley-based insurgent groups like UNLF, PREPAK, UNLF (Pambei), etc., with Police Commandos." (45:01 mins)

The KSO General Headquarters is prepared to provide the full audio clip for authenticity verification through acoustic or forensic analysis to any media or governmental agency.

The recording raises critical questions about the Government of India’s response and actions:

1. Why has the Government of India not addressed the evidence of Singh’s crimes against the Kuki-Zo people? Is there complicity in his agenda?
2. What measures will the Government of India take to ensure justice for the Kuki-Zo people and hold Singh accountable?
3. Why have the atrocities committed by state forces under Singh’s orders not been thoroughly investigated?
4. What steps will the Government of India take to prevent future incidents and protect citizens’ rights?
5. Will there be an investigation into Singh's proposal to merge insurgent groups with state forces, and if not, does this imply support for his actions?

The KSO General Headquarters demands immediate action from the Government of India. The inaction in response to such grave allegations is deeply concerning and undermines the commitment to human rights and justice.

Additionally, the KSO General Headquarters warns against the misuse or defamation of the NIA and insists on legal action against Biren Singh to uphold justice and accountability.

Meanwhile, the Government of Manipur has issued a statement regarding the circulation of  audio recording falsely attributed to Chief Minister Biren Singh. This recording, which has been spreading across social media platforms, is being described as a malicious attempt to incite communal violence and undermine ongoing peace efforts.

A government analysis has revealed a coordinated campaign, with numerous X (formerly Twitter) accounts disseminating the doctored audio under similar captions. The authorities have provided a screenshot demonstrating this orchestrated effort.

The Manipur Police are actively investigating the origins of this defamatory campaign and are committed to taking legal action against all parties involved. The government urges the public to exercise caution and avoid sharing unverified information, emphasizing the importance of maintaining peace and harmony.

The State Government has affirmed its zero-tolerance policy towards any actions that threaten to disrupt the peace process and is dedicated to ensuring the safety and unity of the community.
