Bengaluru: Members of the Karnataka Meitei Association (KMA) held a silent protest at ABCD Ground in central Bengaluru’s Viveknagar on Sunday, condemning the killing of six women, including three minors belonging to the Meitei community in Manipur’s Jiribam district.
More than 100 members of the Meitei community held a candle vigil and mourned the deaths.

They also demanded compensation for the families of slain persons.
