The Supreme Court on Friday directed the Union government to share the latest National Forensic Sciences University (NFSU) report with the petitioner, the Kuki Organisation for Human Rights. According to the report, leaked audio clips about former Manipur Chief Minister N. Biren Singh have been "clearly manipulated". Additional Solicitor General Aishwarya Bhati told the court that even the first-generation copy showed alterations. Advocate Prashant Bhushan, representing the NGO, objected, saying tests at Truth Labs found a 93% match with Mr Singh's voice. He will counter the NFSU findings on the next hearing date. The court had previously asked for the full audio tapes, not just select clippings. The petition seeks an independent SIT probe into Mr Singh's alleged involvement in ethnic violence that has killed over 260 since May 2023. The next hearing is October 5.
