The arrested individual has been identified as Gaisinglung Meiringmei alias Ronald (46), a resident of Mukti Samjang village under Nungba Police Station, Noney District. Authorities revealed that he was involved in multiple criminal activities, including kidnappings for ransom and extortion along NH-37.

In a separate operation on the same day, a joint security team arrested two active insurgents—one each from the PREPAK (Pro) and PLA outfits—from the stretch between Border Pillars No. 75 and 74, falling under Moreh Police Station, Tengnoupal District.
The arrested individuals were identified as:

The cadre, Naorem Surjit Singh (49) of Kakching Turel Wangma Ningthou Pareng, was found in possession of a mobile phone at the time of arrest.

Meanwhile, normal life came to a standstill in Churachandpur and Kangpokpi districts due to a shutdown imposed by certain organisations. Vehicular movement was disrupted, though adequate security arrangements have been deployed across affected areas to ensure peace and prevent any untoward incidents.
