The arrested individuals were identified as Longjam Bishochandra Meitei, also known as Bungo, of KCP (PWG), and Chirom Roshan Meitei, also known as Thomas, of KYKL (SOREPA). Both were detained from the locality of Mayang Imphal Heigum Yangbi. During their arrest, security forces seized two mobile phones from their possession.

He was apprehended in the Yairipok Laimanai area under Andro Police Station, Imphal East District. Singh, who was directly involved in extortion activities, was found in possession of a 9 mm pistol with a magazine, five live rounds of ammunition, a mobile phone, and several identity documents, including a PAN card, driving license, Aadhaar card, ATM card, and voter ID card.
These arrests are part of the continued crackdown by the security forces to neutralise extortionist operations and disrupt the networks of militant groups operating in the region.
