Manipur, 16/7: A middle-aged woman was allegedly gunned down and three trucks were torched while a mob of Meitei women allegedly forced the security men to release three “armed miscreants” in the conflict-hit Manipur in the past 48-hours.
The woman belonging to a Maring Naga community was found dead in her residence in Meitei-dominated Imphal East district on Saturday night. Sources said that her face was found disfigured. Sources suspected that miscreants killed the lady suspecting her to be a Kuki.
Manipur police on Sunday said they arrested nine persons including five women in connection with the lady’s murder. Two arms with ammunition and a car were also seized for investigation into the case.
