Pengba Manbi or Piranha??

This fish is available in Manipur and they are being imported from Myanmar or other states of India and people generally refer to it as Pengba Manbi or Pengba Amubi. In Assam, it is called Chandarupa. But looking closely at it, it has got sharp teeth which local people of Myanmar at times use in place of scissors to trim hair. Is this fish a variety of the dreaded Piranha? Expert comments are welcome...
