Residents of the areas that saw the first spell of violence say trouble began with a rumour of an Anglo-Kuki war centenary gate being burnt down

According to the Chief Medical Officer of Churachandpur District Hospital, 12 bodies have been brought into the mortuary since violence broke out on May 3, of which three were brought in following Friday evening's shooting.

Clashes between the Meitei and Kuki groups were first reported in an area bordering Bishnupur and Churachandpur districts on Wednesday, following a ‘tribal solidarity march’ organised by the All Tribal Students’ Union of Manipur.
