Violence erupted during the Lok Sabha polls in Manipur's Inner Manipur constituency as armed men intimidated election agents and fired shots near polling booths. Incidents of intimidation and firing occurred in multiple locations, including Thamnapokpi and Uripok. Voters retaliated by damaging EVMs and election materials. Congress candidate Angomcha Bimol Akoijam lodged a complaint after his agent was forcefully removed by armed youths. Manipur's chief electoral officer Pradeep Kumar Jha vowed to investigate. Earlier clashes resulted in EVM damage at Khongman Zone 4. The situation remains tense as polling continues.
