'In a tragic incident, two Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel lost their lives and two others sustained injuries during an attack by armed militants in the Naransena area of Manipur's Bishnupur district on Saturday.
The assault, which occurred between midnight and 2:15 AM, targeted an outpost of the security forces, resulting in a bomb explosion. The perpetrators reportedly fired indiscriminately from elevated positions and hurled bombs, one of which detonated within the outpost.
The deceased have been identified as CRPF Sub-Inspector N. Sarkar and Head Constable Arup Saini, while the injured personnel include Inspector Jadav Das and Constable Aftab Hussain. Both Das and Hussain suffered splinter wounds during the attack.
The CRPF personnel were deployed to provide security to the India Reserve Battalion (IRBn) camp. Following the incident, a comprehensive search operation was initiated to apprehend the attackers.
This incident highlights the ongoing security challenges faced by law enforcement personnel in Manipur. The indiscriminate use of violence by armed militants continues to threaten the safety of both civilians and security forces.
Authorities have condemned the attack and vowed to pursue the perpetrators. The government has assured the public of its commitment to maintaining peace and order in the region.'
