A vehicle document (RC book) bearing the name of one Mahesh Kumar Sood of Thangal bazar has been recovered from inside the abandoned Van.
Prior to unlocking the vehicle, police teams went around the market place to find its owner but to no avail.
mortar shell found : Police have recovered a live mortar shell from near the Thangmeiband College Gate office of State unit Nationalist Congress party at around noon today.
meanwhile, locals of Uripok Khoisnam Leikai staged a sit-in-protest today in condemnation of the hand grenade attack by unidentified persons at the residence of PHED’s Assistant Engineer (Imphal East Circle) Pangambam Saratchandra late last night.
