In the morning of 04 July, an attempt was made by armed miscreants to loot weapons from India Reserve Battalion at Khangabok in District Thoubal of Manipur. However, security forces repulsed the attempt killing one miscreant while few other miscreants also sustained injuries.
Additional columns of Rapid Action Force and Assam Rifles were also mobilised to beef up the strength in the area. While mobs had put up road blocks at multiple locations to prevent movement of reinforcements, security forces columns were able to push their way through the mobs to reinforce the IRB battalion. In the process, one Assam Rifles person sustained bullet injury in the leg while miscreants also torched one vehicle of Assam Rifles.
Situation is under control and being closely monitored to respond to any contingency.
