IMPHAL: The Manipur Police has registered an FIR against the Assam Rifles, accusing them of stopping their vehicle following a brawl between two groups last week.

At the same time, Army sources termed this FIR as a travesty of justice and said that As Rifles was following the instructions given by the Command Headquarters to ensure the sanctity of the buffer zone between Kuki and Meitei areas.
The case was related with an incident that occurred on August 5 in which the personnel of the 9 Assam Rifles allegedly blocked the way for the Manipur police team by keeping and parking their “casper vehicle” in the middle of the Kwakta Pholang road.
