Manipur police seize LMG, M4 rifle and mortar from arrested KCP (MFL) member

Manipur police announced the arrest of an individual linked to the outlawed Kangleipak Communist Party (Maoist Front Liberation) during a recent operation. The suspect was found in possession of a light machine gun, an M4 assault rifle and a mortar, weapons that are typically associated with insurgent activities in the region. Authorities said the seizure underscores ongoing efforts to curb the flow of arms to militant groups operating in the Northeast. The police have not disclosed the exact location of the encounter but confirmed that the weapons were confiscated and the suspect is being interrogated. The incident adds to a series of security actions aimed at dismantling armed networks linked to banned organisations in Manipur.
