A tragic incident occurred at a Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) camp in Lamsang, Imphal West District, Manipur, where a jawan opened fire on his colleagues. The shooting, which took place around 8 pm, resulted in the deaths of two CRPF personnel and injuries to eight others. The jawan then died by suicide using his service weapon.
