A man was fatally shot in Manipur while heading toward a forested area to gather bamboo shoots. Authorities have not yet identified the perpetrators, who opened fire on the victim before fleeing the scene. The incident occurs during a period of heightened tension in the state, coming only days after three individuals were killed while collecting firewood in a separate, nearby incident.

While reports confirm the death and the context of the victim's activity, details regarding the specific location or potential suspects remain sparse. The ongoing volatility in the region has led to increased security concerns, though official reports have yet to link this specific shooting to the previous attack on the firewood collectors. Local authorities are currently investigating the circumstances surrounding the shooting to determine if the events are connected or if they represent isolated acts of violence.
