Renewed Violence in Manipur's Moreh Claims Second Commando's Life

Protests erupt following the arrest of two Kuki tribals linked to a police officer's killing; several properties damaged in the ensuing violence.

Second commando, Takhellambam Saileshwore, dies amid renewed violence in Moreh, a trading town on the Manipur-Myanmar border.
Two other commandos critically injured have been airlifted to state capital Imphal for treatment.
Violence erupted after police arrested two Kuki tribals for their role in the October killing of a police officer, triggering massive protests by Kuki-Zo groups.
Hundreds of people from Kuki tribes took to the streets of Moreh to demand the release of the arrested men.
Several houses and two schools were damaged in the attack, either in the RPG strikes or arson-related incidents.
