Overview

• Four people were detained in Imphal for allegedly transporting multiple assault rifles, grenades, over a thousand rounds of ammunition, and combat gear, with a case opened to trace the supply network.
• The accused were identified as Rajkumar Sidharth, Laishram Rameshor Meitei, Athokpam Brojendro Singh, and Laishram Sachikanta Singh, who police say belong to a village volunteer group engaged in unlawful arms movement.
• In a separate operation, two Arambai Tenggol members — Laishram Tondomba Singh and Tourangbam Amarjit Meitei — were arrested with seven HK33 rifles, two M4A1 carbines, two .45 pistols, magazines, and ammunition.
• A court remanded the two Arambai Tenggol suspects to nine days in police custody, as investigators assess whether the foreign-made weapons tie into a wider trafficking chain.
• Security forces also reported arrests of three PREPAK militants and additional seizures of grenades and ammunition, with coordinated sweeps and checkpoints continuing across multiple districts.
