According to the Vanglaini newspaper Hopna Tutu, a worker in the AH & Vety Complex, his family members and a guest were murdered last Friday in Saiha.
 
Hopna Tutu (28), his wife Anita (26), their son and daughter Paltana (3 yrs), Nancy Zorinpui (1 yr) and a guest who came from Manipur state and was staying with them were killed. No motive has been established as yet and none arrested.
 
The superintendent of police set up an action committee to solve the case. The police have already checked over 40 people of Indian origin and are watching the border road.
This kind of brutal murder could not have been done by Mizos. The family's own tribe of Indian origin may have done it. It is also possible that the killers could be Burmese, the newspaper opined.
 
Burmese people staying in Saiha for different purposes are afraid following such speculation.
 
"We will be kicked out from the block if the killers happen to be Burmese. It is very disappointing and we are scared stiff," said a Chin worker in Saiha district.
 
Unfortunately, a section of Burmese in Mizoram, have been in the past, up to mischief and misdeeds, and even criminal activity, tainting the image of fellow Burmese settled in Mizoram. They are hundreds of Burmese workers in Saiha district.
 
"The honest among those from Burma, have faced trouble for the misdeeds of their compatriots. The locals do not trust us and it is very difficult shifting from one block to another. We are mocked at and looked down upon by local people," the Chin said talking about his experience as a Burmese.
