Massive Arms Haul in Manipur: 328 Weapons Recovered in Night Raids Across Imphal Valley
In a major breakthrough, Manipur Police and security forces recovered a staggering 328 illegal weapons during coordinated intelligence-based operations across five districts of the Imphal Valley on the night of June 13 and 14. The seized arsenal includes 151 SLRs, 65 INSAS rifles, AK series rifles, MP5s, mortars, and hundreds of rounds of ammunition. This operation, led by joint teams of the Manipur Police, Army, Assam Rifles, and CAPF, is seen as a decisive move towards restoring peace and order in the violence-hit state. Over 4,000 weapons had been looted during the ethnic clashes, raising concerns over lawlessness. While it's unclear if the recovered arms are among the stolen ones, officials affirm that such operations will continue. The police have urged public cooperation in reporting illegal arms. Will this be the turning point for Manipur's return to normalcy?#ManipurArmsHaul #ManipurCrisis #ImphalValley #IndianArmy #AssamRifles #SecurityForces #GunRecovery #EthnicConflict #RestorePeace #ManipurPolice #toi #toibharat #bharat #breakingnews #indianews

Kuki, Meitei villagers clash over ploughing of agricultural land
1 2 Guwahati: Kuki and Meitei villagers clashed along the boundary between Imphal East and Kangpokpi districts on Sunday, following altercations between villagers from the two communities over ploughing of agricultural lands at a village in the foothills. The groups targeted each other by throwing stones and using slingshots. According to sources, three to five people suffered injuries. While ownership of the land is not yet clear, villagers from both sides clashed against each other, using bamboo and wooden sticks. However, before things could spiral out of control, police and central security forces diffused the situation. According to a Manipur Police statement, a Meitei farmer from Leitanpokpi had gone to plough a paddy field, with his tractor, at Sadu Lampak village, which is near a Kuki-dominated area. "Some nearby Kuki villagers came and objected, saying the paddy field did not belong to him. Some Meitei villagers too reached the site," read the statement. With Leitanpokpi having witnessed violent incidents between the Kukis and Meiteis since the ethnic clashes broke out in May 2023, videos of the altercation went viral, sending alarm bells among the security personnel. "Some videos are circulating, saying Kukis have come down to stop Meitei farmers," Manipur Police cautioned in its X handle, urging the public not to believe in rumours. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo "It is to inform that security forces, led by Addl SP IE and other central forces, have already reached the spot and have controlled the situation. Additional forces led by SP and others are also responding to the situation," Manipur Police wrote on X. According to some of the Meitei farmers, crop lands at Sadu Lampak were not cultivated in the aftermath of the ethnic clashes. However, this time, as the paddy sowing season is approaching and the number of incidents have come down after imposition of the President's rule, the Meitei farmers went to plough the land, despite it being in a vulnerable location. The Meitei farmers who went to plough the land said they had reportedly taken permission from the authorities to cultivate the land. In the last two years, several farmers have been killed while working in a paddy field. Meanwhile, the Meitei Heritage Welfare Foundation alleged that the Kuki villagers obstructed Meitei farmers from cultivating their land, even in the presence of security forces.

Firm defrauds investors of Rs 10.4 crore
Pune: A retired Colonel (48) and five others were defrauded of Rs 10.4 crore by an investment firm that promised high returns on investment between April 2024 and May this year. The firm operated from Koregaon Park. The retired Army officer, a resident of BT Kawade Road, lodged a complaint with the Koregaon Park police on Saturday. The case was transferred to Pune police's economic offences wing (EOW) for further investigation. Senior inspector Sunil Thopte of the Koregaon Park police told TOI, "The victims approached us after the prime suspect in the case locked his offices located in Wakad and Koregaon Park. The suspect is on the run while his sons and wife are staying in Koregaon Park. All the office bearers are residents of Koregaon Park and Dhanori." Thopte said, "The complainant was introduced to the suspect by one of his relatives. The suspect enticed the complainant and his friends with promises of a 30% return on investment. He claimed that he invested the money collected from investors in shares and earned a good profit." The officer said, "After winning the trust of the victims, the suspect accepted investments worth Rs 4.4 crore and also gave them receipts of his firm." Preliminary investigations by the police revealed that four to five individuals, who are yet to approach the police, have already been cheated by the suspect, and the scope of the fraud is likely to expand.
