India, Nov. 4 -- The National Forensic Science Laboratory (NFSL), which was asked to examine the audio tapes that alleged former Manipur chief minister N Biren Singh's role in instigating the 2023 ethnic violence in the state, has told the Supreme Court the clips were "tampered with". The bench read out portions from the report: "Four exhibits showed signs of modification and tampering. They, therefore, conclude that the clips are altered and do not constitute the original source recording and are not scientifically fit for forensic voice comparison." The court read out the conclusion: "No opinion on similarity and dissimilarity of the speakers in question can be offered."P12
