Months before his death, Manipur MLA wrote to PM, sought probe on mob attack
An MLA requested PM intervention for ethnic violence and was later killed, highlighting potential abuse of power and failure to protect citizens.
Vungzagin Valte, a BJP MLA from Manipur, died in February 2026 after being brutally attacked by the Meitei militia Arambai Tenggol five months before his death. In a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Mr. Valte detailed the attack and requested a separate administration for the Zomi-Kuki-Hmar community, citing the ethnic violence that had driven them from Imphal. The deputy chief minister of Manipur stated that arrests would be made but it may take time due to the mob assault.
