Singh was arrested from his home on Friday and police confiscated a mobile phone and an Aadhaar card from him.
This arrest follows just three days since the KCP (Marxist-Leninist-Maoist) announced that three of its cadres were deserters and asked the public not to oblige any financial demands made by them.
The deserters were found to be Soibam Phireppa alias Bargil, 23 years, of Irom Meijrao Mayai Leikai, Pukhrambam Tomthin alias Naoton, 25 years, of Ningthoukhong Mayai Leikai, Ward No. 9, and Khumanthem Chinglai alias Umakanta, 36 years, of Laipham, Monbung, Jiribam. The three had reportedly become members of a gang carrying out extortion in the name of KCP.
