An area commander of an extremist group that claimed to have attacked oil and gas tankers on a highway in Manipur more than a fortnight ago has reportedly been gunned down.
Reports from the State’s capital Imphal said Thangminlien Haokip, also known as Hunter, was shot dead by one of his guards in Kangpokpi district’s Geljang village on Sunday. It was not clear whether the shooting was deliberate or an accident.
The police neither denied nor confirmed the incident.
