Even with tension reportedly de-escalating in Manipur, violence reached Delhi with a group of Kuki students residing in the Delhi University North Campus area alleging that they were attacked by a group of Meiteis on Thursday night.
The following day, on Friday, the students claimed they tried to register an FIR at the Maurice Nagar Police Station and when the police refused to file the complaint, the students staged a protest outside the police station. Police said that the situation is now under control and action has been initiated, and a few students have been detained.
The incident follows the violence that gripped the state in the immediate aftermath of inter-community clashes which erupted in a few districts of the northeastern state amid protests against the inclusion of the majority Meitei community in the Scheduled Tribes (ST) category.
Manipur Government had requisitioned Army and Assam Rifles on May 3 and 4.

"As a result of the proactive and timely response, Churachandpur, KPI, Moreh and Kakching are now under firm control with no major violence since last night", the Indian Army had said in a statement on May 5 evening.

"The situation has been brought under control through coordinated actions by all stakeholders. IAF undertook continuous sorties from two airfields in Assam employing C17 Globemaster and AN 32 aircraft," Indian Army had stated.
