The Story in Brief
The Centre on Friday told the Supreme Court that audio recordings allegedly linking former Manipur chief minister N Biren Singh to the state's ethnic violence were doctored. Additional solicitor general Aishwarya Bhati said the National Forensic Sciences University (NFSU) report found multiple alterations in the clips.
The bench directed that NFSU's six-page report be shared with the petitioner, Kuki Organisation for Human Rights. The petitioner's counsel Prashant Bhushan said a separate forensic lab 'Truth Labs' had concluded with over 93% certainty that the voice was Singh's.
The Indian Opinion
Two forensic reports point in opposite directions, yet the Supreme Court is the right place to settle this. One side calls the audio manipulated; the other claims 93% certainty it is Singh. The political spin around Manipur's violence often ignores victims. The real test will be whether the full NFSU report and the original recordings are made public.
