Fresh unrest erupted in Manipur following the arrest of a key leader of the Meitei group Arambai Tenggol. Protests intensified across Imphal West, Imphal East, Bishnupur, Thoubal, and Kakching, with incidents of arson, road blockades, and gunfire. A bus was torched in Khurai Lamlong, prompting security forces to use tear gas. In response, authorities enforced total curfew in Bishnupur and imposed Section 144 in surrounding districts. To curb misinformation, the Manipur government suspended mobile internet, broadband, VSAT, and VPN services for five days starting June 7, deploying additional forces to restore calm.
