Their arrests highlight the ongoing security concerns in the region.

One of the arrested was involved in local extortion

During these operations, police also found a stash of weapons—including rifles, pistols, grenades, and even a wireless set—in the foothills of Imphal East.

The crackdown is part of continued efforts to keep the area safer.
