Manipur: Fresh violence in Imphal, tear gas shells fired
Imphal, Jun 29 (PTI): Police fired tear gas shells on Thursday evening to disperse a mob which had gathered at Khwairamband Bazaar in the heart of Imphal where the body of a man killed in the morning in a gunfight in Kangpokpi district was brought and placed in a traditional coffin.
Demonstrators, led by women, threatened to carry the coffin in a procession to Chief Minister Biren N Singh’s residence, officials said.
They were also seen burning tyres in the middle of the road to prevent police from arresting them.
