Manipur Police Defies False Rumors of Arson Near IGAR South Headquarters: The Truth Unveiled!

Manipur Police has debunked social media rumors claiming an arson incident near the IG Assam Rifles (South) headquarters in Mantripukhri on August 16, 2024. Issuing a statement on X (formerly Twitter), the police declared the information as unfounded, stating, “This is wrong information. No such incident of arson near IG AR (South) happened on 16th August 2024.”

The clarification addresses a Facebook post alleging a house belonging to Mr. Ringo, the ADC Chairman of Chandel district, was set ablaze around 2:40 PM on Friday. The post claimed the property, previously owned by a Kuki family, was intentionally torched by unidentified individuals. It further identified three men on Royal Enfield motorcycles as potential perpetrators seen near the scene before the fire.

Manipur Police has urged the public to avoid disseminating unverified information, as it may heighten regional tensions.
