A convoy of Manipur Police was targeted by a mob at Longja village in the Chandel district, according to reports on Thursday. The attack, which occurred late Wednesday night, resulted in damage to several police vehicles' windshields.

The convoy included a vehicle belonging to the additional superintendent of Chandel district. Kuki women reportedly stood in front of the convoy, blocking its path and preventing it from proceeding further.

Several Kuki organizations allege that the police show bias in favor of the Meitei community. The clashes between the Meitei and Kuki communities have left at least 260 people dead and thousands homeless since May 2023. The northeastern state is currently under President's Rule.
