The arrests mark a significant breakthrough for law enforcement agencies following a large-scale crackdown against militants that began on March 6, the day the amnesty deadline expired.
According to official reports, the crackdown dealt a major blow to the valley-based outlawed group, the Kangleipak Communist Party (KCP). On Friday, four cadres of this outfit were arrested from various locations in Greater Imphal.
Additionally, one member of the banned People’s Revolutionary Party of Kangleipak (PREPAK) was apprehended along with a stolen Tata Nexon. Two more activists from the proscribed Kanglei Yaowl Kanna Lup (KYKL) were caught near the Manipur-Myanmar border.
