BISHNUPUR, JULY 16: Security forces arrested a 23-year-old man named Thongam Inaoba Meitei, alias Lalaba, from his house at Laingoubi Maning Leikai under Kumbi police station in the Bishnupur district. The accused is claimed to be an active member of the banned Revolutionary People’s Front/People’s Liberation Army (RPF/PLA), a militant group engaged in insurgent activities in Manipur.
Meitei had received 30 days of initial military training at a Myanmar camp, reports said. In the course of the operation, security agents confiscated a Kechaoda keypad mobile phone and an Airtel SIM card from him. His arrest is an integral part of ongoing counter-insurgency operations in the area as authorities further clamp down on militant groups.
