The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has filed charges against seven individuals in connection with the looting of arms and ammunition during Manipur's ethnic violence last year. The incident, where a mob raided the Bishnupur police armoury, resulted in the theft of over 300 weapons and 19,800 rounds of ammunition. The violence erupted following clashes between the Meitei community and tribal groups over Scheduled Tribe status. The accused have been identified, and investigations continue amidst ongoing tensions in the region.
