On Saturday (9th November) morning, a woman belonging to the Meitie community was shot dead in Saiton village in Bishnupur district of Manipur. The murder is suspected to have been committed by Kuki terrorists.
The incident occurred when the Meitiei woman in her early 20s was working in a paddy field. Shots were reportedly fired from a hill stretch, located 100 metres away. The victim died on the spot.
Personnel belonging to the Border Security Force (BSF) returned fire although the locals have accused the armed forces of inaction. Following the incident, additional forces were deployed in the area.

At least 250 people have died and 60,000 people have been displaced since the outbreak of ethnic violence between Meities and Kuku-Zo terrorists.
