CRPF Constable Found Dead at Training Camp in Manipur
The Story in Brief
A CRPF constable undergoing pre-induction training was found dead inside a camp in Kangpokpi district, Manipur, on Wednesday evening, officials said. Sapermeina police station registered an unnatural death case under Section 194 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita. Police said the investigation is underway, and the circumstances behind the death have not been established.
The incident came after an unrelated incident in Assam, where a CRPF assistant sub-inspector allegedly killed two colleagues, injured another and died by suicide. More than 300 companies of central security forces are deployed in Manipur, according to the state police department’s 2025-26 administrative report. Manipur has faced unrest since May 2023.
The Indian Opinion
The two incidents may raise concern because they occurred close together, but there is no evidence yet that they are connected. Claims about wider problems among security personnel would be premature without the investigations’ findings. Reporting should avoid sensationalising the deaths while recognising the need for mental-health support and careful attention to working conditions. Further official information is awaited.
