In Dramatic Footage, Assam Rifles Troops Rescue Manipur Cops Amid Ambush
Videos have emerged of how the army's Assam Rifles troops rescued Manipur Police commandos pinned down by insurgents with heavy gunfire in an ambush on a highway, in a dramatic first-hand view of the daring rescue. In the videos, which have been shared widely on social media too, a group of Assam Rifles troops inside an armoured Casspir mine-resistant vehicle slowly approached a bend on the highway. As soon as the road turned straight, a hail of bullets are heard ricocheting off the armoured vehicle. A long line of Manipur Police commando SUVs are seen on the side of the road, pinned down by insurgent gunfire from above the hill.
