The ten Meiteis have been working for the last two and half months in the said AR camps. And they stayed there at the camps for a long time since they couldn’t come down to the valley because of the ongoing clashes.

As per the workers, they came to work at the AR Camps under the contractor Longjam Kiranjoy. The contractor made two groups consisting of 5 workers each and were made to work at 17th AR camp at Joupi. The reached there at 29th March and began working there. One of the two teams completed their work early and shifted to 37th AR at Monpi for more work. However, as the crisis escalated, they had but to stay at the respective camps.
A day or two after the ill-fated May 3 incident occurred, Kuki Villagers and armed Kuki Militants stormed at the gate of 37th Assam Rifles at Monpi and shouted to handover the five Meitei workers to them. Among the armed Kuki militants, they could see several Lon-gee wearing armed militants.
