What is the Actual Truth About this Incident? : Fact
These images are reportedly old photos from the Manipur unrest. Recent events or the Indian Army base are unrelated to this.
We visited NDTV, which posted the same visuals in a 1 minute and 12 second video with the headline “History Of Ethnic Conflict In Manipur”. It was posted on June 1, 2023. This shows that the video has no relation to the Indian Army base at all.
