In a shocking incident 12 insurgents were
arrested from the official residence of three Congress MLA's and one former
MLA in Imphal, Manipur late Friday night.
The Congress MLAs of Manipur were W Brajabidhu
Singh, K Meghachandra Singh and Bijoy Koijam while the former MLA is Sova
Kiran.
Arms and ammunition in large quantity was
also recovered from the MLA's houses. One 9 mm Pistol, an M-16 Rifle, 18 live
rounds were recovered from a septic tank at the residence of Congress MLA
Brajabidu Singh.
"We were able to arrest in all 12 cadres
of various outfits. Searches are being carried out at the official quarters
of Bidhu Singh. This is on the basis of suspicion that some incriminating
items and members of those outfits may be hiding inside the quarters,"
says Manipur DGP, Y Joykumar Singh.
Rifle parts and extortion notes were also
seized from the MLAs. Police has registered cases against the three MLAs and
the former legislator.

the militants of the state.
