GUWAHATI: Hours after the Manipur cabinet declared that sub-divisional police officer Chingtham Anand Kumar was shot dead by Kuki militants at Tengnoupal district’s Moreh town, which is along the Indo-Myanmar border, two other Manipur Police personnel received serious injuries as militants attacked a reinforcement convoy moving towards Moreh in the afternoon.
A security source said that the convoy was ambushed at Sinam village in Tengnoupal district and about 49 km from Moreh at around 3 pm.
Earlier in the day, an emergency cabinet meeting was held at Imphal after the killing of the SDPO by a suspected sniper when he was on duty inspecting a newly constructed helipad in the town. He was shot in the abdomen.
