Addressing a press meet in this regard, DOAK youth president Sharungbam Bimol said that Th Shyamkumar chaired a meeting of youth of Yairipok Yambem on Sunday 5 pm which was followed by a dinner.
After the dinner, as Shyamkumar was about to leave for his official residence in imphal, some workers of Lourembam Sanjay pelted stones at his vehicle while taking advantage of the darkness.
The situation was controlled by imphal East Commandos, who rushed in to the area on receiving information of the incident.

The viral video was circulated by some people with vested interests to mislead the public and take political mileage, he said and appealed to the public to participate in the election in a fair manner but not to use false propaganda to mislead the public.
