Manipur Crisis: Asem Kanan's CBI Arrest Sparks Outrage, Meitei Group Declares 10-Day Shutdown, Internet Suspended

  • On June 7, 2025, Manipur authorities arrested Asem Kanan, the alleged army chief of the Meitei group Arambai Tenggol, triggering unrest.
  • The arrests followed ongoing ethnic violence since May 3, 2023, between Meitei and tribal Kuki-Zo communities, with Arambai Tenggol implicated in attacks.
  • Protesters in Imphal blocked roads with burning tyres, clashed with security forces, and demanded Kanan's release amid indefinite curfew and internet suspension in five districts.
  • Authorities imposed a five-day internet blackout and curfew, and Governor Ajay Kumar Bhalla promised coordinated steps to restore stability during a high-level security meeting.
  • The arrests and protests intensified the fragile law-and-order situation, sparking a 10-day shutdown called by Arambai Tenggol and prompting political calls for local leadership to restore peace.
