In a dramatic escalation of tensions, Manipur witnessed widespread unrest after the discovery of six bodies in a local river. Protestors, incensed by the incident, targeted the residences of several state ministers and MLAs, demanding accountability and prompt action.

The fury of the protestors led to the imposition of indefinite curfews in five districts and the suspension of internet services. With security forces on alert, tear gas was deployed to disperse crowds in various parts of Imphal.
