Guwahati, India – Police in India’s Manipur state have filed two cases against members of the Editors Guild of India (EGI), accusing them of trying to incite more unrest in the northeastern state, where deadly ethnic violence has simmered since May.
The cases, also known as first information reports (FIRs), filed in two separate police stations on Sunday came a day after the country’s top editors body issued a report condemning the local media’s “one-sided” reporting of the months-long violence in the remote state.
