Police firing kills journo in Manipur

Police shot dead a television journalist yesterday when they opened fire during a protest against a sexual assault on a film actress in India's northeast, an official said.
The 36-year-old, who was working for the Doordarshan network, was "killed in police firing" in Imphal, capital of Manipur state, police spokesman A. Singh told AFP.
The journalist died on the spot from one of the bullets, Singh said.
The shooting comes amid a wave of protests in India over a student's gang-rape in New Delhi last weekend.
Manipur has been rocked by its own series of protests after the actress known as Momoko was dragged from stage in full public view last week by an armed militant belonging to a banned rebel outfit despite the presence of security personnel.
He then tried to rape her but she managed to fight him off and flee.
Momoko, also a popular model, has waived her right to anonymity and appealed on television for her attacker's arrest.
On Saturday, crowds had pelted stones at police in Imphal, damaging six of their vehicles, prompting authorities to impose a curfew in parts of the state.
