Four people were killed in recent communal clashes in Manipur, and grieving locals brought the bodies to the chief minister's residence for a last rites ceremony.
Manipur witnessed a sudden outbreak of violence that left four individuals dead, according to local sources. The victims, whose identities have not been released, were reportedly caught in a clash between rival groups in a remote area of the state.
In the aftermath, community members gathered the bodies and transported them to the official residence of Chief Minister N. Biren Singh in Imphal. Residents said they wanted the chief minister to witness the tragedy and ensure that proper funeral rites could be performed.
