Manipur: Woman killed, two injured in firing in Senapati
Police said the gunfight between suspected militant groups injured two villagers and prompted an investigation as tensions rose after the deaths of two Kuki youths.
- On Thursday, November 12, 2026, a 40-year-old Kuki-Zo woman, Nengboi Chongloi, was killed in a firing incident at Taphou Kuki village in Senapati district, while two male villagers were injured near the Senapati-Kangpokpi boundary around 11 am.
- Heightened tensions following the October 28 abduction and November 1 recovery of two 20-year-old Kuki youths from the same village triggered the shooting. The Kangpokpi-based Committee on Tribal Unity organized protests, describing the government's response as "unsatisfactory."
- The two injured men, Sehngam Chongloi and Lamkhochon Chongloi, are receiving treatment at Kangpokpi District Hospital. COTU demands that Taphou Kuki village be transferred from Senapati Police Station to Kangpokpi district jurisdiction.
- Manipur Police Additional Director General Lhari Dorjee Lhatoo said on Tuesday that a proposal to transfer the investigation to the National Investigation Agency is at an "advanced stage," with necessary orders awaited.
- Security personnel remain tightly deployed along the volatile district boundary as COTU maintains a "total shutdown" in Kangpokpi, warning they will impose "more stringent form of democratic protest" if government action remains unsatisfactory.
