The Supreme Court on Thursday directed that the National Forensic Sciences University (NFSU) report on audio clips allegedly linking former Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh to ethnic violence be shared with the Kuki Organisation for Human Rights. The report, kept confidential, found the first-generation copy of the whistleblower's recording had been altered, making reliable forensic verification impossible. The petitioner's lawyer, Prashant Bhushan, cited a Truth Labs report identifying Singh's voice with over 93% certainty. The Court had ordered multiple forensic examinations amid claims of tampering. More than 260 people died in the 2023 clashes.
