Manipur: Woman killed, two injured in firing in Senapati
Police said the shooting came amid protests over the killings of two Kuki-Zo civilians, and the state is weighing an National Investigation Agency probe.
- On Thursday, a gunfight between suspected militant groups near Taphou Kuki village left Nengboi Chongloi dead, with the victim working in a field when violence erupted around 11 am.
- Heightened tensions followed the abduction and killing of two Kuki-Zo youths, Paoginlal Hangsing and Tinginlun Chongloi, whose deaths on November 1 prompted the Committee on Tribal Unity to call a "total shutdown" in the district.
- Demonstrating at district headquarters, COTU demanded an "unsatisfactory response to the organisation's charter of demands" be addressed, specifically seeking to bring Taphou Kuki village under Kangpokpi district police jurisdiction instead of Senapati.
- Manipur Police ADGP Lhari Dorjee Lhatoo stated on Tuesday the government is considering transferring the case to the National Investigation Agency , noting a "proposal to transfer the case to the NIA... is at an advanced stage."
- Villagers remain stranded in fields while residents have cautioned travelers against using the stretch of National Highway-2, as State Congress leaders indicated Rahul Gandhi is likely to visit Manipur soon.
