Imphal, March 04 2022:
An improvised explosive device (IED) exploded near the residential gate of political activist and former BJP Manipur Pradesh chief spokesman Chongtham Bijoy at Lamphelpat at around 6.40 this evening.
Sources informed that unknown individuals who came on a scooter (Honda Activa) planted the IED near the gate of Bijoy's residence which is located adjacent to RIMS campus.
The low intensity bomb exploded just outside the compound wall of Bijoy's residence.
Even though there was no report of any human casualty, top ranking officers of Imphal West district police inspected the blast site.
Notably, Ch Bijoy was seeking BJP ticket to contest the 12th Manipur Legislative Assembly election.
But he was not only denied BJP ticket but also expelled from the party.
Since then, Bijoy has been openly criticising the leaders of BJP Manipur Pradesh.
