Videos of a tense stand-off between the Assam Rifles and a group of armed men in Manipur’s border town Moreh have emerged on social media, raising questions over how a few armed men stopped the security forces from moving around in the town just a stone’s throw away from conflict-hit Myanmar. The incident happened on January 17, the day two Manipur Police commandos were killed in action while returning fire at “Kuki insurgents”. A day after the gunfight, Manipur Security Adviser Kuldiep Singh had told reporters that “numerous Kuki militants started firing at commando posts in three locations”, and the commandos being at a lower elevation were “sitting ducks”.
