Security forces in Manipur apprehended four militants, including the self-styled chief of the Kangleipak Communist Party (KCP), a proscribed Kuki insurgent group.
The operation led to the seizure of 12 firearms and several rounds of live ammunition, highlighting ongoing efforts to curb insurgent activities.
The arrests come amid ethnic tensions and President’s Rule in the state, with investigations continuing and further arrests expected as authorities work to restore stability.
