Members of the Zomi community in Manipur are planning to bring the body of the late Bharatiya Janata Party MLA Vungzagin Valte to the national capital to stage a protest outside the BJP headquarters.

Valte had been physically assaulted by a mob in Imphal on May 4, 2023, resulting in paralysis, and died on February 21, 2026 in a hospital in Haryana’s Gurugram. His body is being preserved at the mortuary of the Churachandpur district hospital in Manipur.
