Security forces used tear gas to disperse a crowd that had gathered in the heart of Manipur's capital Imphal late Thursday as the violence in the state claimed one more life. The crowd had assembled to pay floral tribute to a former merchant navy officer killed earlier in the day in a gunfight in the district of Kangpokpi. The body of the man, placed in a traditional coffin, was brought to the Khwairamband Bazaar in the heart of Imphal.
