GUWAHATI: The Director of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), Praveen Sood, landed in Guwahati on Monday to review the progress of the Special Investigation Teams (SITs) under DIG rank officers working on cases related to violence in Manipur.

According to reliable sources, the CBI chief is expected to assess the advancements made by the SITs assigned by the state government to investigate various instances of violence in Manipur.
Earlier, on September 27, a specialised CBI team led by Praveen Sood had arrived in Manipur to expedite the investigation into the alleged murder of two students, Hijam Luwangbi Linthoinganbi and Philem Hemanjit.

Sources suggest that during his visit, the CBI chief will critically assess the ongoing investigations conducted by the SITs under DIG rank officers handling various cases related to the Manipur violence. The CBI is currently probing six cases, five of which involve alleged criminal conspiracy, while one pertains to the general conspiracy behind the violence.
The investigation by the CBI also covers the May 4 incident in Thoubal, where two women were subjected to sexual violence, leading to the Centre directing the CBI to take over the probe.

The recent chargesheet against nine accused individuals was filed before the special judge of the CBI Court in Guwahati, marking a significant milestone in the ongoing investigations.
