Imphal, May 20 2012:
A boy was hurt in a hand grenade explosion in Imphal in the wee hours of Sunday.
Police said unknown persons hurled a hand grenade at the house of an IFCD official at Thangmeiband Sinam Leikai in Imphal West district at around 3:30 am today injuring an 11-year old boy identified as Dawa.
The victim has been admitted in a hospital.
The IFCD official identified as Soubam Dhanabir (56) has been attacked for the second time today.
Earlier in 2011, there was a similar incident of bomb attack on him.
Interestingly, on April 10, three cadres of NSCN-K had come to deliver a demand letter to the officer.
One of the cadres was caught by the locals and handed over to the police.
It is still not clear whether today's incident was related to the April 10 case.
