Rumors of a clash between personnel of the 37 Assam Rifles and Manipur Police at Sugnu in the Kakching district of Manipur have been rubbished by the Army’s Eastern Command. Reports suggest that even minor incidents in strife-hit Manipur are being blown out of proportion by certain parties. The Army maintains that there was no clash between the Assam Rifles and the Manipur Police and a training video from Punjab dating back to 2021 is being circulated depicting a casualty. A possible spark was probably a video of a verbal spat between Assam Rifles personnel and state policemen over the parking of vehicles near the gate of the Sugnu police station. Over the last month, violence has erupted in Manipur and both the Assam Rifles and Manipur Police have come under fire from the two ethnic groups – Meitis and Kukis. Security agencies have urged outsiders with little knowledge of the ground reality in the state to refrain from making irresponsible statements.
