Manipur police have detained three militants suspected of involvement in insurgent activities, marking a significant step in the state's security operations.
Manipur police announced the arrest of three militants on Thursday, a move that authorities say is part of a broader effort to curb insurgent activity in the state.
The suspects were taken into custody by the Special Operations Unit after a coordinated operation that reportedly involved intelligence inputs and surveillance.
Police officials confirmed that the arrested individuals were linked to local insurgent groups and were suspected of planning attacks against security installations.
The arrests come amid intensified security operations across Manipur, with law‑enforcement agencies aiming to disrupt the networks that have long posed a threat to peace and stability in the region.
The detained militants are now being processed under the state's anti‑terrorism laws, and further details will be released by the police department as the investigation proceeds.
