Manipur police detained 17 individuals for posing as SoO cadres at a designated camp in Kangpokpi.
Police in Manipur announced that 17 persons were taken into custody after they were found masquerading as cadres of the SoO at a camp set up in Kangpokpi. The operation was carried out by local law‑enforcement agencies following a tip that individuals were using false identities to gain access to the designated facility.
Authorities said the suspects had pretended to be official SoO members in order to infiltrate the camp, which is meant for legitimate cadre activities. By assuming these identities, they allegedly sought to exploit the camp's resources and disrupt its functioning.
The police have lodged the arrested individuals under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code for impersonation and related offences. They are being held for further interrogation, and the case will be forwarded to the district court for trial.
Manipur has witnessed heightened security vigilance in recent months, and the swift action underscores the state's commitment to curbing unauthorized activities that could threaten public order.
