Two businessmen, including one from Mumbai, who had gone missing on a trade trip to a Myanmar border town were on Thursday found dead in the Laijang area, about 50km from Moreh along the Indo-Myanmar border, police said.
Daljit Singh, 33, from Mumbai, and Sanvindar Singh, 30, from Uttar Pradesh, had left Moreh on February 11 on their way to the Myanmar border town of Tamu. The two had gone to sell their goods in the Myanmar town after obtaining documents from immigration officials at Moreh, had failed to return to India in time.
Various civil society organisations had taken up the matter of their disappearance and demanded that the two be traced. They had blocked the Indo-Myanmar border trade from February 17 and urged authorities in either country to locate the two businessmen.
International trade, involving crores of rupees, is done daily between India and Myanmar through the border town of Moreh, which lies about 124km southeast of Imphal in Chandel district.
The bodies bearing injury marks have been kept at Moreh police station from where they would be taken to Imphal for a post-mortem. No individual or groups have claimed responsibility for the death of the two businessmen. PTI
