Overview

  • Security forces arrested Paokholen Guite, the self-styled head of the Chin Kuki Mizo Army, on October 1 in Churachandpur and seized two AK-47s, ammunition, cash, phones and a vehicle.
  • Multiple People's Liberation Army members were picked up in Imphal West and Thoubal on October 1–2 for alleged extortion of brick field owners, quarry workers and the public.
  • Officials reported a total of five arrests over the past 24 hours, combining the CKMA leader and PLA cadres from operations across several districts.
  • Police describe the CKMA as a newly formed outfit outside Suspension of Operations deals and accuse Guite of trafficking weapons and drugs across the India–Myanmar border for non-SoO groups such as the UKNA.
  • Authorities linked the PLA to a September ambush that killed two Assam Rifles personnel and said ongoing operations include 114 checkpoints, highway escorts and a public advisory against rumours.
