"On March 22, 1891, Chief Commissioner J.W. Quinton reached Manipur with a troop of soldiers. A secret plan was arranged to arrest Tikendrajit but the secret got leaked and the plan failed.
Two days later, in the evening of March 24, at 4.45 a. m. the British troops attacked the residence of Tikendrajit in Palace Compound, killed some soldiers and many more civilians, women and children who were watching a programme on Ras Lila. The Manipuri soldiers fought back and succeeded in their offensive struggle. At about 8 p.m. the position of the invading troops became critical, the Residency could not be held much longer, and Mr. Quinton arranged and armistice and sent to invite the Maharaja."
Subedar Himchand was one the soldiers killed in the incident.
