According to the event poster shown in the video, the football match started on January 20. At the same time, the name of the place is also visible in the poster. This place is Nohjong Kipgen Memorial Playground, which is located in Gamnomfi village. This place is about 30 km from Rajdhani Imphal. This incident has raised questions over the increasing presence of weapons amidst ethnic conflict. However, the social media influencer, who posted this video, has now removed this video from its account and shared a new video in which gunmen are not seen.
Let me tell you, at the end of the video, armed people are seen dancing. A special red color logo appears on their helmets and shoulders, which is often the hallmark of Kuki National Front-Pilitants. In such a situation, after the video went viral, an organization of the Maitai community demanded the government to investigate the matter on social media.
