Imphal: A day after two mutilated bodies were found in Senapati, protesters clashed with security forces in Manipur’s Kangpokpi district on Monday. The incident prompted the law enforcers to fire tear gas shells on the agitators to disperse them.


According to PTI, protests were reported in various areas of Kangpokpi district on Sunday. The protesters reportedly burned tyres and blocked several places with wood and boulders. The police have cleared some of the roads. One of the protesters was injured after being reportedly hit by a tear gas shell. The Police said his condition is stable.


Tensions remain high: Official

“Tension remains high in the district and additional security forces have been deployed on Monday (November 2, 2026) morning,” a district official was quoted by news agency PTI as saying. Notably, the mutilated bodies of two youths, were found in a hilly area in Senapati district on Sunday. They had gone missing recently.


Reports said that bodies were found stuffed inside gunny bags in a banana farm when officials were involved in a search operation for them. Both victims have been identified as T Chongloi (21) and Paoginlal Hangsing (20). They had gone missing from Taphou Kuki village on October 29.


Manipur Deputy CMs condemn killings

Condemning the incident, Deputy Chief Ministers Nemcha Kipgen and Losii Dikho issued statements. Issuing a statement, Kipgen said, “What began with hopes of safe return ended in tragedy.” She demanded that “heinous crimes be thoroughly investigated”, and the culprits be brought to justice.


“Such senseless acts of violence and killing must be condemned unequivocally. The ongoing violence in our state is unacceptable. No grievances or disagreements can ever justify taking a human life,” Dikho added in another statement. The Naga People’s Organisation (NPO) has raised questions regarding the circumstances surrounding the recovery of the bodies.
