The Manipur police conducted two separate operations, apprehending a member of the Kangleipak Yuva Kanna Lup (KYKL) and a man found with 3.5 kg of cannabis.
Manipur police announced that they have arrested a cadre of the Kangleipak Yuva Kanna Lup (KYKL) in a dedicated operation aimed at curbing insurgent activities in the state. The individual was taken into custody after intelligence inputs linked him to recent militant gatherings.
In a separate raid, officers seized 3.5 kilograms of cannabis and detained the suspect who was found in possession of the narcotic. The drug haul was recovered from a location identified by the police as a known smuggling route.
Both operations were carried out simultaneously in different parts of Manipur, underscoring the force's focus on tackling both insurgency and illicit drug trade. Police officials indicated that investigations are ongoing and that further arrests may follow as they pursue additional leads.
The arrests come amid heightened security measures in the northeastern region, where authorities have been intensifying efforts to dismantle armed groups and curb the flow of illegal substances.
