A mob tried to attack Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh's unoccupied ancestral residence on the outskirts of Imphal amid ongoing violence, despite security clampdown. Forces successfully pushed back the mob after firing tear gas shells. The CM resides in a separate well-guarded official home. The attack attempt followed overnight student protests regarding two teen-age students' killings, and mob vandalism of a Deputy Commissioner's office. To disperse the ancestral home attackers, security forces fired rounds in the air, cut off electricity to reduce visibility, and installed more barricades.
