Kuki organisations say a woman was fatally shot by security personnel during the ongoing Manipur unrest.
Manipur has been witnessing a surge in ethnic clashes, with security forces deployed to contain the violence. Amid the turmoil, Kuki community groups have asserted that a woman was killed when security personnel opened fire in the area.
The Kuki representatives released a statement alleging that the woman was caught in the cross‑fire and that the incident underscores the heavy-handed tactics of the forces. They have called for an independent inquiry but have not received an official response from the authorities so far.
The claim adds to the growing list of civilian casualties reported during the recent flare‑up, prompting human‑rights observers to urge both the state and central governments to ensure accountability and protect civilians caught in the conflict.
