A 31-year-old man died during treatment on Wednesday, taking the death toll to three in the CRPF firing incident in Manipur.
The man, Wanghengbam Bobby, was injured when security forces allegedly opened fire at people protesting the killing of two Meitei siblings on Tuesday.
Following the killings, people protested, stormed a Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) camp, vandalised it, and set vehicles on fire.
State home minister Govindas Konthoujam said that two people were killed and at least 31 were injured as CRPF personnel controlled the mob.
The fresh flare-up in violence also prompted authorities to suspend internet and mobile data services in several districts.
Chief minister N Biren Singh condemned the attack and assured that the government would hunt down the perpetrators and deliver justice at the earliest.
