Husband of the deceased, Khaidem Nareshwor (son of Ingocha) and his mother Khaidem (Ongbi) Indira, both residents of Wangoi Mamang Khaidem Leikai, were arrested yesterday. Two others have also been arrested
They were produced before the Duty Magistrate of Imphal West, along with a request for a nine-day police custody remand for investigation of the case.
After hearing the prosecution's submission, the Duty Magistrate granted the request and remanded the two suspects in police custody till January 5.
The body of Chaoba Devi has been kept at the RIMS morgue since last night.
As of today, none of the family members have come forward to claim the body for her last rites.

She had gone missing on the night of December 26.
Meanwhile, a sit-in protest was held today at Iramsiphai Leirak Ashangba Community Hall, demanding the arrest of all people involved in the alleged killing of Chaoba Devi. The protest was organized by the Joint Action Committee (JAC), formed by the people of Iramsiphai, Chaoba Devi’s birthplace, in connection with the case.
Speaking to the media, JAC convenor S Sanajaoba stated that they suspect foul play in the death of Chaoba Devi, allegedly involving her husband and in-laws.
