Imphal, May 24 2023:
Enraged over the death of one Toijam Chandramani, who was shot at by Kuki mil-itants in Thamnapokpi, pro-testors destroyed a vehicle of the Indian army at Kwakeithel Akham Leikai, Airport road on Wednesday.
Prior to the chaos, Chan-dramani was brought to Asian Hospital near Kwakeithel for treatment.
After the hospital confirmed that Chandramani had succumbed to injuries, his family, relatives, friends and people staying in the relief camp at Moirang College drove away the police personnel on duty and began protesting.
The protestors further vented their fury over the failure of para-military forces in protecting civilians and demanded the forces to return to their units.
Later, a police team led by Imphal West SP Dr S lbomcha arrived at the scene, following which Chandramani's life-less body was shifted to RIMS Morgue.
