Imphal, January 17 2016:
A
combined team of BSF and
Lamlai police arrested one KNF
(N) cadre from Itham village in
Imphal East district yesterday.
BSF sources said that a
joint team of 49th battalion
BSF and Lamlai police rushed
to Itham village after getting
information of KNF (N) cadres
extorting money from the
owners of sand quarries.
On seeing the security
team, one of the cadres suddenly
opened one round of
fire in the air and tried to flee
the area.
However, some villagers
overpowered a cadre
and caught him while four
other cadres managed to escape.
The arrested cadre has
been later identified as
Kamminlun s/o Janthang of
Singsit Veng Kangpokpi in
Senapati district.
He revealed
that he came to the village
from Kangpokpi with four
other cadres two days back.
They also brought two AK-
47 rifles and one 9 mm pistol.
Soon after his arrest, the
combined team conducted a
search operation to arrest
other cadres at the area.
During the course of the
operation, the security team
recovered an AK-47 rifle
along with a magazine loaded
with 11 live rounds from near
a river at around 8 pm.
The apprehended KNF
cadre and the recovered items
have been handed over to
Lamlai police for further investigation.
