Joint operations by central security forces and Manipur Police led to the arrest of five alleged insurgent cadres from banned groups RPF PLA and KCP-PWG across multiple districts. Authorities seized various firearms, explosives, ammunition, and combat equipment during coordinated raids. Interrogations provided leads for follow-up searches, resulting in the recovery of additional arms and military gear. The arrested individuals and seized materials have been handed over to police for further investigation and legal proceedings.
