Imphal, Oct 31: In a shocking incident, a sub-divisional police officer was shot dead by suspected tribal militants at Moreh in Manipur’s Tengnoupal district on Tuesday, police said.

According to the senior police officer, militants fired on policemen when they were inspecting the newly constructed helipad at Eastern ground in the border town dominated by Kuki-Zo community members.

SDPO was rushed to the primary health centre in Moreh, where he succumbed to his injury, the police officer said.

Following the incident, operations have been launched in the area to apprehend the militants.

Condoling the death of a police officer, CM N Biren Singh said, “Deeply saddened by the cold-blooded killing of SDPO Chingtham Anand, OC Moreh Police this morning. His dedication to serve and protect the people will always be remembered. The perpetrators will be brought to justice.”

This incident comes weeks after several civil society organisations, particularly those based in Moreh, demanded the removal of state forces from the border town.
