In a series of operations against militant activities in the last 24 hours, Manipur Police and security forces have arrested five active cadres of banned organizations from Imphal West.

In the second operation, a joint team raided a rented house at Sagolband Thingom Leikai, resulting in the arrest of three KCP (PWG) cadres identified as Oinam Shantikeshor Singh, Kangabam Sony Chanu, and Leishangthem Uma Devi. The trio, hailing from Bishnupur, Imphal West, and Kakching districts respectively, were allegedly involved in serving monetary demands and collecting money through threats from various shops in the valley area.
In the third operation under Wangoi Police Station, security forces arrested Leimapokpam Abem Chanu, another active KCP (PWG) cadre, at Waheng Khuman Maning Leikai. A resident of Bishnupur Chanu was implicated in extortion activities targeting oil pumps in the valley area.
