IMPHAL: Amidst polling for the Lok Sabha elections at Moirang in Manipur, a distressing incident unfolded near a polling booth in Thamanpokpi.

Reports claim that individuals discharged firearms in the vicinity, causing concern among voters and officials.

An unsettling 25-second video clip making rounds on the internet captures a scene of chaos and uproar, followed by the distinct sound of two consecutive gunshots.

Shortly thereafter, a third shot rings out, seemingly in reaction to the initial gunfire.

Subsequently, a series of rapid gunshots, possibly from an automatic weapon, fills the air, prompting the person filming to seek refuge behind a nearby doorway.

The intense exchange of gunfire persists for approximately 10 seconds before finally subsiding.
