A CRPF constable in pre-induction training was found dead inside a camp in Manipur's Kangpokpi district on Wednesday evening, and Sapermeina police opened an unnatural death case under Section 194 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita while an investigation continues, Hindustan Times reported. The death came a day after a CRPF assistant sub-inspector in Assam's Nagaon district allegedly shot two colleagues dead and wounded a third with his service rifle before killing himself. Manipur's state police department, in its 2025-26 administrative report, put the deployment of central security forces there at more than 300 companies. Hindustan Times listed 206 companies of the CRPF, 100 of the Border Security Force, 21 Assam Rifles units, six of the Sashastra Seema Bal and five of the Indo-Tibetan Border Police in operation, alongside army and Manipur police personnel. The state has been under unrest since 3 May 2023, following an ethnic clash between the Meitei and Kuki-Zo communities.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Officials have confirmed the death and police have registered an unnatural death case, which leaves the cause to the Section 194 inquiry. The Assam shooting a day earlier appears in the same report as a separate incident, and nothing in it links the two beyond their timing and the force involved. The deployment figures from the 2025-26 administrative report describe the scale of the central security presence in Manipur, not conditions inside any one camp. Sapermeina police station's inquiry under Section 194 will determine how the constable died.
