The National Investigation Agency has taken into custody two additional accused linked to the armed attack on the Manipur chief minister's convoy, intensifying the probe into the incident.
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) announced the arrest of two more individuals suspected of involvement in the armed ambush on the convoy of Manipur's chief minister. The arrests were made as part of an ongoing investigation into the attack that took place earlier this month.
Authorities said the newly apprehended suspects are believed to have played a direct role in planning or executing the assault, which targeted the chief minister's security detail while the convoy was moving through the state. The NIA has not disclosed the names of the accused, citing procedural reasons.
The agency reiterated its commitment to bringing all those responsible to justice and indicated that further arrests could follow as more evidence is gathered. The incident has heightened security concerns across Manipur, prompting heightened vigilance by state and central forces.
Law enforcement officials have urged the public to cooperate with investigations and have assured that the safety of political leaders will remain a top priority.
The NIA's action underscores the federal government's resolve to address politically motivated violence and maintain law and order in the northeastern region.
