The recent violence in Manipur has resulted in a rising death toll, now at three, following the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) firing on protesters. The protests were sparked by a suspected rocket strike that killed a five-year-old boy and his six-month-old sister in Bishnupur district. The deceased, Wanghengbam Bobby, succumbed to his injuries at the Regional Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS) in Imphal. In response to the unrest, the Manipur government has suspended internet services in several districts, including Imphal East and Imphal West. Chief Minister N Biren Singh condemned the attack and announced that the investigation would be handed over to the National Investigation Agency (NIA). Meanwhile, the United Kuki National Army (UKNA) has denied any involvement in the attack and refuted claims regarding the arrest of its members. The government has conditionally lifted the suspension of broadband internet services, acknowledging the impact on essential services and daily life.
