“Violent protests over the death of two youths in Manipur continued till the early hours of Thursday (September 28) with a mob vandalising the deputy commissioner’s office in Imphal West and torching two four-wheelers,” officials said.
A fresh bout of violence, this time led by students, broke out in the State capital on Tuesday after photos of the bodies of two youths who went missing in July went viral on social media.
“Last night, the protesters clashed with security personnel in Uripok, Yaiskul, Sagolband and Tera areas, prompting the forces to fire several rounds of tear gas shells to control the situation,” officials said.
