She was only 20. She was handed over by the Meira Paibis to Arambai Tenggol at an ATM booth in New Checkon, where she was later raped at Langol and abandoned in Bishnupur. She survived the ordeal and was taken to Guwahati for medical treatment due to severe trauma and uterine complications. Tragically, she succumbed to her injuries on 10 January 2026.
In her honour, ITLF will organise a candlelight vigil on 17 January 2026, Saturday at 5:00 PM at the Wall of Remembrance. All are invited to pay tribute.

She was kidnapped on May 15, 2023 and taken to Wangkhei Ayangpali. The survivor recalled that it was the Meira Paibis who handed her over to a group of men, instructing them to "kill her". She said the Meira Paibis were the first to assault her physically. "They were dressed in traditional phanek — some old, some young," she added.
The men then contacted members of Arambai Tenggol, who arrived wearing black T-shirts and carrying firearms. She was later taken to Langol, where she was blindfolded and her hands were tied. "I kept crying continuously. They threatened to shoot me if I did not stop," she said. The mob later decided to shift her again to a more remote location in Bishnupur, believing that committing the crime in Imphal would lead to police action.
The survivor said she was taken to a hill where the attackers told her they intended to rape her and promised to spare her life if she complied. "I told them I am not that kind of girl," she said. When she resisted, she was brutally beaten, after which the men took turns assaulting her. She later managed to escape from their captivity.
