The undated video captures Chungreng Koren becoming emotional while speaking, purportedly after a bout at Matrix Fight Night (MFN).
“This is my humble request. Violence is happening in Manipur. It has been almost a year. People are dying and many people are at relief camps. There is a shortage of food and water at these relief camps. The children are not able to study properly. The future is unclear. Modi ji, please visit Manipur once and restore peace in the state,” Chungreng Koren is purportedly heard speaking at the event.
ये Chungreng Koren हैं। चैंपियन खिलाड़ी हैं।
जीत मिली तो PM मोदी से गुहार लगाई कि मणिपुर में हिंसा को करीब 1 साल हो गया है। आप मणिपुर जाइए। लोगों का भविष्य ख़तरे में है। कुछ करिए..
वैसे मुझे तो नहीं लगता कि चुनाव से पहले वो ऐसा कुछ करेंगे।#MatrixFightNight14 pic.twitter.com/gNOvsFmuLp

HT could not independently verify the authenticity of the video.
Sharing the video clip on X (formally Twitter), Youth Congress president Srinivas BV wrote in Hindi, “Here is Chungreng Koren from Manipur. If only the Prime Minister were a part of their family, perhaps today every citizen of Manipur wouldn’t be compelled to cry.”
