Thoubal, September 27 2023:
Fuelled by the anger against the murder of two missing students and denouncing State Government's failure to end the nearly five month old crisis, protesters stormed and burnt down BJP Thoubal district office at Khongjom today.
Thousands of people, men and women stormed the BJP office from three sides at around 3 pm.
Even as the BSF personnel deployed at the office fired several tear gas shells and mock bombs to disperse the crowd, the protesters grew in size forcing the security personnel to evacuate to Khongjom police station.
The irate crowd vandalised all properties inside the office and burnt the building.
At Imphal and late in the evening a large number of protesters marched towards the residence of State BJP president A Sarda but the police managed to stop them.
A brief scuffle broke out and the protesters set on fire the official vehicle of the SDPO of Porompat police at Loklaobung Thongkhong.
A large group of protesters also marched to the residence of Mahud Minister Y Khemchand at Singjamei Yumnam Leikai late in the evening today.
