In coordinated security operations conducted on September 30 across multiple locations in Manipur, police and security personnel arrested three active cadres representing different banned militant groups. The crackdowns led to the recovery of several extortion demand notices and uncovered networks involved in youth recruitment and cross-border movement.
Extortion Letters Seized in Imphal West Operation
A specialized team from the Criminal Investigation Department (CDO), Imphal West, initiated a cordon and search exercise at Leitong Maning Leikai, situated under the jurisdiction of Patsoi Police Station. During the search, officers arrested an active member belonging to the Kangleipak Communist Party (People's War Group), widely known as KCP (PWG).
The arrested operative was identified as 35-year-old Khundrakpam Biren Meitei, who also goes by the aliases Kethabi and Nanao. He is a resident of Sairemkhul Mayai Leikai located in Imphal West district. Following the arrest, personnel seized 19 demand letters linked directly to KCP (PWG) operations, frustrating their financial extortion plans in the vicinity.
Interception Near Chandrakhong and Cross-Border Transit
In a separate interdiction, security forces established vehicle checkpoints in the general area of Chandrakhong. The action followed specific intelligence reports alerting authorities to the infiltration of a senior insurgent operative entering from Myanmar through the Kamjong route.
Officers detained 56-year-old Moirangthem Boboy Singh, alias Laingam, residing at Kakmayai Mayai Leikai. Identified as an alleged self-styled captain within the PRE-PAK (PRO) outfit, Singh admitted under questioning to having recruited four teenage youths from Bishnupur district and facilitating their transit across the international boundary into Myanmar.
Recruitment Network Disrupted in Imphal East
Simultaneously on September 30, operatives from CDO Imphal East carried out a targeted raid at Khurai Puthiba Leikai. The team apprehended 46-year-old Nepram Singhajit Singh, an alleged active cadre of the Revolutionary People's Front / People's Liberation Army (RPF/PLA).
Investigations revealed that Singh was actively recruiting individuals for the militant group. He had arrived at the location to purchase and coordinate bus tickets intended for moving newly recruited cadres onward toward Ukhrul, an effort that was thwarted by the timely intervention of law enforcement.
