In yet another alleged attack of the Kuki militants, a 45-year-old farmer sustained multiple bullet injuries on his left thigh at Langoltaobi Loukol, Phubala, Bishnupur around 8.30 am on Saturday. While another 18-year-old boy and an IRB personnel sustained injuries when alleged Kuki militants attacked in Kwakta, Bishnupur.
As per the witness and the villagers, Rajan went to work with his younger brother at their field some 1.5 kilometres away from the foothills where the Kuki militants stay. It was around 8.30 in the morning, and some 30-plus farmers were tilling and preparing their fields for agricultural purposes. They heard long whistles from the side of the Sikh Regiment, and the alleged Kuki militants fired upon them one bullet hitting Ranjan on his left thigh and another one sustaining him a scratch. While other farmers fell flat onto the muddy water for safety. Several bullets hit on the field where they all worked, added a friend working close to the victim.
