This comes after at least 40 students were injured in Manipur’s Imphal Valley on September 26 as the police fired tear gas shells and baton-charged a mob protesting against the killing of two youths who went missing in July. 

The students brought out protest rallies hours after photos of the bodies of the two youths went viral on social media on September 25. 

The protesters clashed with the police when security forces tried to stop them from advancing towards the chief minister’s secretariat here, police said. 

The injured protesters were treated at various hospitals.
