Two Assam Men Rescued from Manipur; Arms Cache Seized in Separate OperationPreviousNext

Two men from Assam, Kasob Kachari and Ajay Gogoi, were rescued from unlawful confinement in Ukhrul district, Manipur, where they were held as collateral over an unpaid debt. The rescue followed a complaint from Assam's Titabar Police Station, and investigations continue with the main accused still at large. Separately, security forces recovered a large cache of arms and ammunition in Chandel district during an intelligence-based operation, with no arrests made so far.
