Kuki rebellion of 19-17-1919 and mercy petition of Kuki Chiefs
The following Kuki prisoners after the 1917-1919 Kuki rebellion wrote a mercy petition to The Commissioner valley and hill district, through the Deputy Commissioner Naga hills, to release them as they were fought the Government in Manipur believing that Chingakhamba Sanachaoba was also fighting the Government in Manipur. The names of the prisoners are 1.Chenjapao 2.Khuthingthang 3.Paohei 4. Ngulkhup 5. Leothang 6. Helashom (Heljashon) 7.Mangkoon 8.Tindong (Tintong) 9.Pakang 10. Semchung 11.Ngulhkukai 12. Enjakhup.

The kuki prisoners further alleged that Chingkhamba Sanachaoba threatened them that if Kuki villages do not obey him then they would be his enemy. The Kuki prisoners concluded that they fought with the government due to the deceitful conduct of Manipuri Limbus and chingakhamba Sanachaoba Singh. The Kuki prisoners concluded the mercy letter by stating the following " We now request the mercy of the government to forgive us this time. We affirm that we will never do anything like this in future. We are ready to go anywhere to help our government with our men or money in any way whenever government needs." The thumb impression of 12 prisoners were affixed in the mercy petition and the letter was countersigned by Superintendent of Jail, Kohima.

The mercy petition and the contents of the letter makes it amply clear that the kuki rebellion was the handiwork of a Meitei renegade named Chingakhamba Sanachaoba Singh. Taothingmang (talk) 15:08, 15 October 2023 (UTC)
