Dimapur police debunk shooting rumors after road accident

Kohima: A viral voice note and video clip sparked panic across Dimapur on November 4. The digital trail claimed an assassination attempt left one driver wounded and hospitalized. Bystanders swarmed the Nyamo Lotha-Dhobinalla-Clock Tower road junction to film a stationary car blocking the lane. Rumors spread fast.

Official sources killed the story. They confirmed that no gunfire occurred at the scene. Instead, a road mishap stalled traffic at approximately 7:00 pm. Background chatter in the circulated video suggested the event was a hit and run, not a targeted attack. Police have confirmed the incident remains a traffic matter, stating, "there was no report of any shooting."
