Manipur: Security Forces Arrest Four Militants Amidst Ongoing Unrest

Imphal, October 25, 2025 – Security forces in Manipur have arrested four militants belonging to various proscribed organizations in connection with extortion activities. The arrests, made on Friday, October 24th, targeted members of the United Kuki National Army (UKNA), the Kangleipak Communist Party (Taibanganba), Prepak (Pro), and the People’s Liberation Army.

According to police officials, one active cadre of the UKNA was apprehended in Churachandpur district, with a pistol and ammunition recovered from his residence. He is allegedly involved in extortion within the town area. Other arrests occurred in Kakching, Imphal East, and Imphal West districts, targeting members of the other aforementioned groups.

These operations are part of ongoing search efforts following the outbreak of ethnic violence between Meiteis and Kuki-Zo groups in May 2023. The conflict has resulted in over 260 deaths and the displacement of thousands. The Central government imposed President’s Rule in Manipur following the resignation of Chief Minister N. Biren Singh; the State Assembly is currently under suspended animation.
