A Chinese-made grenade was lobbed and exploded in front of a shop selling two-wheelers here early on Wednesday, triggering panic in the Manipur capital. No one was injured.
The incident took place in Khuyathong area. Employees at the shop said no insurgent group had made any extortion demand. But police feel this must be the work of militants.

The shop is located close to a police station and there are armed police pickets hardly 100 metres away.

The Liangmai Naga Council said families were yet to identify the bodies and had not received official information on where the remains were found.
Security forces have arrested six militants, including a top extremist leader and a woman cadre, in Manipur and recovered a large cache of arms and ammunition, officials said on Thursday.
Fourteen UNLF cadres were arrested separately on March 22 with two INSAS rifles, 100 rounds of ammunition and four vehicles — as Manipur's security dragnet widens across multiple districts.
