• Thangjam Manorama alias Henthoi was allegedly executed by personnel of the 17 Assam Rifles personnel in Manipur, after she was picked by them on the early hours on July 11, 2004.
• According to the victim's family, troops of the 17 Assam Rifles along with two Manipuri speaking people came to their house around midnight (12:00 am) on July 11, 2004 and they broke the door and entered the house. At that time Manorama was sleeping in her room. When the security personnel found her, they dragged her out from her bed and beat up the family members when they tried to stop them. Then they locked the house door from outside and brutally assaulted Manorama after blind folding her and tying her hand and feet.
• At around 3:30 am, the security personnel took Manorama along with them. They issued a memo of arrest to the family. According to the memo of arrest, no incriminating documents or articles were found with Manorama at the time of her arrest. The Army personnel also forced the family to sign on some papers that they do not know about. The Army personnel told the family that Manorama would be handed over to the Irilbung police in the morning. A report filed at the Irilbung police station in the early morning of July 11,  2004 indicated that Manorama was taken by the Assam Rifles personnel.
