In Manipur, where the riots did not end, the Assam Rifles, a paramilitary unit, and the Manipur Police had come out hiding the differences. Manipur Police had filed a case against the Assam Rifles for allegedly stopping the police vehicle. The security forces responded that the action of the police is a mockery of justice.
