Against the backdrop of the violence in Manipur since May 3, a video has been going viral on social media where apparently a machine gun can be seen being fired relentlessly. It has been shared on Twitter and other social media platforms with the claim that the visuals are related to the current clashes in Manipur.<\/p>\n

While the common claim accompanying the video is that it is from Manipur, some users claimed that it was the people from the Kuki community who were firing at the Meiteis.<\/p>\n

A Twitter user, who goes by the name ‘Walmart Banana’ shared the video on May 4 saying that it was a video of Kuki people firing at Meiteis.<\/p>\n

The tweet received over 1,36,000 views and was retweeted about 1,000 times. (Archive<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Now, dalal <\/em>(broker) media and Modi devotees should tell which Opposition and leaders went here to provoke?
