New Delhi, August 12 2023:
There are no plans to replace Assam Rifles (AR) with any other Central Armed Police Force (CAPF) in Manipur, a senior government official told The Hindu on Friday.
Several BJP legislators and Meitei groups have accused the oldest paramilitary force in the country of "biased role by favouring and supporting one side only" .
On August 5, the Manipur Police registered a First Information Report (FIR) against the ninth battalion of AR for "obstruction of duty" and helping Kuki militants flee in the Kwakta area of Bishnupur.
Following the FIR, the Army wrote to the government seeking clarification on the criminal charges.
