IED blast at Manipur MLA's gate

Issue No. 3 | February 01-15, 2014

Despite the intense security measure taken up by the Manipur state police in various parts of the state capital, unidentified persons triggered a medium intensity improvised explosive device (IED) at the residential gate of Nameirakpam Loken, a member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) at Sangaiprou Maning Leikai, recently.

The IED was placed close to the gate near the foot of the sentry post. The blast damaged a portion of the gate and a wall opposite to the MLA’s residence. The MLA was present inside his residence during the time of the explosion of the bomb.

According to media reports, the bomb threat might have been carried out in connection with some monetary demands served by an underground organisation to the MLA. Later at around noon, Sangaiprou locals staged a sit in protest decrying the attack.
