Imphal, India – A shocking incident unfolded in Manipur’s Bishnupur district, where a 41-year-old woman and two municipal councilors fell victim to a violent attack on a Tuesday evening. The woman, identified as Umarani, was found with a bullet wound in her right leg, while the councilors, Md Abdul Karim and Md Nasiruddin, were discovered critically injured and unconscious.
According to police reports, the three victims were assaulted near an oil pump in southern Bishnupur district. The attackers remain unidentified, leaving authorities puzzled as to the motive behind these gruesome acts. Despite ongoing investigations, no individual or group has claimed responsibility for the violence that left three individuals injured.
Following the attack, all three victims were rushed to a hospital in Imphal for urgent medical treatment. The district of Bishnupur has recently been in the spotlight due to a series of attacks on Indian Army personnel. Last week, two Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel lost their lives in an armed assault, shedding light on the escalating security concerns in the region.
Furthermore, tensions have been rising in Bishnupur, with clashes between women-led groups and Indian Army forces leading to confrontations and detainments. The release of 11 miscreants detained with arms and ammunition underscored the complexities surrounding security and law enforcement in the area. The incident involving the woman and councilors adds another layer of violence to the already volatile situation in Manipur.
As authorities continue their investigation and efforts to identify the attackers, concerns over safety and security in Bishnupur remain at the forefront. The community grapples with the aftermath of the violent attack, hoping for swift justice and measures to prevent such incidents from recurring in the future.
