Imphal: Security forces captured five suspected militants during counter-insurgency operations across Manipur on Wednesday. Police and Assam Rifles joint teams handled the raids in the Chandel and Imphal East districts.
In Chandel, forces moved on targets near Border Pillars 48 and 50. They grabbed four men. Three belong to the Kanglei Yawol Kanna Lup, known as KYKL. One is linked to the People’s Revolutionary Party of Kangleipak, or PREPAK.
The KYKL suspects are Kangujam Amit, 23, Konthoujam Dhiren Meitei, 31, and Leimapokpam Binanta Singh, 19. Pebam Sanathoi Singh, 19, represents the PREPAK contingent. The authorities noted that these four individuals have been taken into custody for further interrogation. Investigations into their alleged activities and networks are underway.
Separately, police commandos and the 31 Assam Rifles swarmed the Checkon area. They arrested 54-year-old Ningthoujam Khamba Singh near the Porompat police station. He allegedly serves as an active member of the Revolutionary People’s Front and its armed wing, the People’s Liberation Army.
