These actions are part of ongoing efforts to maintain security in the region, with officials stating that further investigations are underway in all three cases.

On June 5, authorities apprehended Huidrom Boyboy Singh, a 28-year-old member of the People's Liberation Army. Officials noted his involvement in illegal activities, stating he was "involved in arms smuggling and in pasting banners, flags and stars in various areas."

In a separate operation on the same day, security forces arrested 26-year-old Thangjam Diya Singh, an active cadre of the proscribed Kangleipak Communist Party. He was taken into custody in the Imphal West district, where officers seized additional incriminating items.

Separately, police intercepted 26-year-old Md. Azmal Khan on June 4 near the Pioneer School along the Pallel-Chandel road. Officers arrested the Thoubal district resident for allegedly transporting tobacco products. During the stop, police seized a Super Carry vehicle used to carry the contraband.
