Two active cadres of a banned outfit were arrested for their alleged involvement in firing incidents in Manipur's Imphal West district two days ago, police said on Sunday (January 11, 2026).
“The two members of the proscribed KCP (Noyon) were apprehended on Saturday (January 10, 2026) from Sagolband and Phumlou areas in the district,” a senior officer said.
“The firing incidents in Langjing Achouba, Ghari, and Sangaiprou areas were reported on Friday (January 9, 2026). The Manipur Police conducted search operations at various places and analysed the CCTV footage in the areas,” he said.
"The two militants were arrested after their involvement in the firing was established. One M-20 pistol loaded with bullets was recovered," the officer said. The two were earlier involved in at least eight firing incidents,” he said.
“In a separate operation, security forces recovered a cache of arms and ammunition from Awlmun village in Kangpokpi district on Saturday,” the police said.
