Manipur strengthened their semi-final hopes with a 1-1 draw with Bengal while holders Punjab managed a late goal to beat Tamil Nadu by a solitary goal to keep their hopes alive in the Santosh Trophy on Thursday. In the first Group A match of the day,Bengal went into the lead in the 10th minute through Lalawmpuia but a 59th-minute strike by Manipurs Subhash Singh denied the 29-time champions a deserving win.

Later,Punjab thrived on a 78th minute penalty conversion by Jagpreet Singh to beat Tamil Nadu 1-0 in the second Group A league match at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium. Manipur are on top of Group A with four points from two matches while Punjab are second with three points from two games. Bengal and Tamil Nadu are on one point each after their 1-1 draw in their opening match. Manipur and Punjab need just a draw in their last quarter-final league matches against Tamil Nadu and Bengal respectively.

Regarding the recent criminal activities carried out by the gang, ADG Krishnan said that one Aditya Kumar was shot dead by Ranjan Pathak and his associates on July 18 in the Bajpatti police station area.
