The police personnels can be heard talking in Manipuri language. With the help of our Manipur team, we got to know that they were saying, “They are also shooting from there. There, there, they are running over there. Let us also shoot back. Look and aim carefully, the CRP are also there. They are hiding in that house. Shoot at the house. It looks like we have hit one of them. Reload the gun, they are also near the foothill of that hill. If only, we could drive a bit more further”.

According to reports, a Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) jawan was killed in an ambush by Kuki militants at Mongbung village in Jiribam district on Sunday (July 14) morning while another CRPF jawan and two state police commandos sustained bullet injuries in the attack.
