In a significant operation, Manipur Police have apprehended nine individuals—six from the Meitei organisation Arambai Tenggol and three militants of the banned Kangleipak Communist Party (PWG)—in Bishnupur district.

These arrests come after incidents of physical assaults on state police personnel during a bandh on June 9 and ongoing extortion activities in the region.

The authorities identified the six Arambai Tenggol members and the three militants, the latter involved in extorting money from the public and businesses. Efforts remain underway to capture more individuals linked to these activities.
