The Supreme Court of India, on Monday, expressed dissatisfaction with the findings of the National Forensic Science University (NFSU) regarding an audio clip allegedly implicating former Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh in instigating communal violence. The court noted that the forensic experts failed to provide a clear answer on whether the voice in the clip matched Singh's existing recordings. The audio clip, which was described as 'unreliable' by the NFSU, is part of a petition filed by the Kuki Organisation for Human Rights Trust, seeking a court-monitored Special Investigation Team (SIT) probe into the matter. The violence between the Meitei and Kuki communities, which began in May 2023, resulted in over 250 deaths and displaced thousands. The court highlighted that this was the second inconclusive forensic report, following one from a national lab in Guwahati last year. The bench directed the NFSU to share its findings with the parties involved and raised concerns about the admissibility of the audio recorded without consent. The petitioner has also submitted a report from Truth Labs, a private forensic agency, claiming the clip is authentic. The court has postponed the matter for two weeks, urging further investigation.
