Manipur Security Forces Arrest 17 Impersonators at Kuki SoO Camp, Arms Seized
Security forces in Manipur arrested 17 individuals impersonating registered cadres of Kuki armed groups during a joint operation at Sinai Camp, a designated SoO camp. Authorities seized 24 firearms, ammunition, explosives, and communication equipment. The operation revealed only one of 159 registered militants present, raising concerns over SoO agreement compliance. Investigations are ongoing into impersonation, unauthorized arms possession, and possible involvement of camp functionaries. The raid prompted local displacement amid fears of ethnic tensions and demands for neutral security deployment.
