Explosives seized from truck in Manipur

Iboyaima Laithangbam

IMPHAL: With the seizure of arms and ammunition from a truck, the Manipur police have exposed the gunrunning by the Islamic militant outfit, the People’s United Liberation Front (PULF).

On a tip-off, a special police commando team intercepted the truck, coming from Dimapur, Nagaland towards Imphal, carrying building materials. The explosives were concealed in a bag. Two drivers, Mansur Ali and Edrish Ali, were arrested.

Upon their interrogation, the police on Tuesday night raided a house at Yairipok in Thoubal district and arrested Nasir Khan, a member of the PULF. But another cadre escaped. The police recovered two foreign-made pistols, extortion letters, seals and other incriminating documents from the arrested militant.
