On January 3, 2025, violence erupted in Kangpokpi district as a mob attacked the office of Superintendent of Police (SP) Manoj Prabhakar. Protesters used stones, petrol bombs, and projectiles, causing injuries to officials and significant property damage. The attack was reportedly triggered by continued deployment of central armed forces, particularly the BSF and CRPF, in Saibol village, which some locals oppose.
In response to the unrest, security in the area has been tightened, with additional forces deployed to prevent further escalation. This incident underscores the growing tensions between local communities and law enforcement amid ongoing security operations in Manipur.
