Among the arrests, an active member of the Kangleipak Communist Party (People’s War Group), Leishangthem Hiran Singh (40), was apprehended in Thinungei Makha Leikai, Bishnupur. Singh allegedly engaged in extortion activities targeting local residents and brick kiln operators. A mobile phone and a Jio SIM card were also seized from him.

In a separate operation, police arrested 27-year-old Likmabam Amujao Meitei, an active cadre of the Kangleipak Communist Party-Politburo Standing Committee (KCP-PSC), near Sawombung Pourabi Road close to the FCI Godown in the Imphal East district.
