Locals of Nambol in Manipur's Bishnupur district on Saturday (September 20, 2025) morning staged protests against the killing of two Assam Rifles personnel in an ambush in the area the previous day.
Search operations are being conducted in the area for the attackers and the vehicle used by them, police said.
The locals, wearing traditional mourning attire, raised slogans and held placards condemning the attack and for "creating fear and panic among the public", at a sit-in just 1 km from the ambush spot.
Later, women took out a protest rally denouncing the attack, and criticised the opening of fire in public places.
Two jawans of the Assam Rifles were killed and five others were injured when a group of armed men ambushed a vehicle of the paramilitary force in Nambol Sabal Leikai area on Friday evening, officials said, adding no group has claimed responsibility for the attack so far.
