Toll in militant firing in Manipur's Senapati rises to 3 with death of injured man in hospital
The killings had taken place barely an hour before the United Naga Council announced its decision to suspend its four-month-old economic blockade along the national highways in the State
Three people have been killed in militant attacks in Manipur's Senapati district, according to officials. On September 26, suspected militants killed two Naga civilians and injured two others. Adani Manio, 33, and Ashiho Sani, 49, were among those injured and taken to a private hospital in Senapati. Unfortunately, Mr. Sani passed away at the hospital around 3 a.m. on September 27, and his body was sent to Senapati district hospital for a post-mortem.
Former Chief Minister N. Biren Singh expressed his concern over the incident, stating that over 60 killings had occurred this year. Singh questioned the continued counting of bodies rather than holding attackers accountable and improving law and order in the region.
