The decomposed bodies of two children, including an infant, and a woman were found near the Manipur-Assam border on Friday, officials aware of the matter said, days after six members of a family were abducted by suspected militants in Jiribam.

According to officers, the bodies were found near a river close to the inter-state border and roughly 15km from where the abductions took place. It was not immediately clear if the bodies were of any of the abductees. "The bodies have been taken to Silchar for identification. They are yet to be identified. They were found 15-20km from the spot where the family of six was taken. If the police are unable to confirm the identity, a DNA test will be conducted," an officer said, requesting anonymity.
