Imphal, Feb 18 (UNI) A combined team of Manipur Police and Assam Rifles nabbed the Self Style Finance Secretary of the United National Kuki Army (UKNA) on Tuesday at Churachandpur district.
Acting on specific intelligence of the presence of cadres at the Kaprang area, Churachandpur District, Manipur, Assam Rifles, and Manipur Police launched a cordon and search operation. Upon spotting the security forces, the cadre attempted to flee under the cover of darkness. In a display of tactical discipline and concern for civilian safety, the troops refrained from opening fire and instead pursued the fugitive on foot, surrounded him, and forced him to surrender.
