Kuki Extremist Leader, Three Others Shot Dead in Manipur

  • On Monday, unidentified gunmen ambushed a vehicle near Mongjang village in the Churachandpur area of Manipur, resulting in the deaths of four individuals, including a Kuki extremist leader and his two bodyguards.
  • The attack occurred amid ongoing ethnic clashes since May 2023 between Meiteis and Kuki-Zo-Hmar communities that killed over 260 and displaced around 59,000 persons.
  • The deceased included Thenkhothang Haokip alias Thahpi, deputy commander of the Kuki National Army, and a 72-year-old woman hit by a stray bullet; security forces recovered over a dozen empty shells at the scene.
  • Officials reported that the victims were shot at close range around 2 p.m. while traveling in a vehicle, and to date, no organization has come forward to take responsibility for the ambush.
  • The incident highlights persistent sporadic violence despite President's Rule since February and a suspension of operations agreement by Kuki rebel groups, prompting criticism of the central government.
