Imphal, November 02 2015:
Manipur Police Commando personnel posted in Moreh town and 11 Assam Rifles (AR) nearly exchanged fires on Monday afternoon after two commando personnel were picked up by a team of 11 Assam Rifles (AR) at gun point.
Sources in Moreh said that the two commando personnel had gone out at around 2 pm for buying something.
When the two reached Rabi Rani Rice Hotel, some armed personnel of 11 AR forcefully tried to apprehend them and pick them up.
The commando personnel identified themselves and showed their identity cards to the jawans.
However, the two were apprehended and picked them under the order of one Major Bikram (Biki), who led the AR team.

The two were reportedly kept at the AR camp for an hour and interrogated though the two repeatedly identified themselves to be commando personnel, said the source.
The news of the "arrest" angered commando personnel posted in Moreh town and they thronged the nearby Moreh Police Station.
Around the same time, Major Bikram of 11 AR came in a Bolero jeep.
The rattled commandos nearby stopped the jeep by pointing guns at the AR vehicle, said the source.
The AR team was taken inside the police station but Moreh Additional SP, M Mubi immediately rushed to the spot and intervened.
His intervention prevented a possible armed confrontation between the two forces, said the source.
CO of 11 AR also rushed to the police station and offered an apology for the incident on behalf of his personnel.
The tension was diffused after the CO clarified that both the commando personnel were arrested after they suspected them to be two UNLF cadres who were in town.
