Imphal, Nov 14: Indefinite curfew, imposed last Wednesday after the recovery of the body of a state minister's eight-year-old daughter Lungnila Elizabeth, was today lifted from four valley districts of Manipur. Official sources said that the curfew was withdrawn at 5 am from Imphal East, Imphal West, Bishenpur and Thoubal districts.
The curfew was imposed to prevent any untoward incident following the recovery of the body of Elizabeth, daughter of the Manipur Minister for General Administration, Francis Ngajokpa.
Elizabeth was kidnapped for ransom by about six unknown persons on November four and her body was recovered from a pond near her school here on November 12.
Sources revealed that a sum of about Rs 10 lakh out of Rs 15 lakh demanded had been paid to the kidnappers who killed the girl.
