“I couldn’t sleep that night. I kept getting flashes of the girl who was shot…the moment I dozed off, I started hearing gunshots and whistles. Just a few hours ago when we were walking, she was there, alive and well, trying to protest for her people. She died moments later.”
Kalyan Deb can’t get the events that transpired on the night of May 4 out of his mind. The 34-year-old EastMojo reporter was in Manipur’s Churachandpur with his colleague Mukat Medhi when four people were shot dead while security forces were carrying out evacuation of Meiteis in the area.
