Imphal: Two persons have been apprehended by security forces for their alleged involvement in the attack on the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) office in Manipur’s Imphal East district.
The arrested have been identified as Haobijam Khumarjit (45) and Haobijam Mangangcha Singh (41).
The duo was arrested from the Yumnam Khunou area in Imphal East district on Monday (May 12).
They were apprehended during an operation launched jointly by Central security forces and Manipur Police.
The RSS office at Haraorou area in Imphal was attacked by a mob in November last year when protests broke out across Imphal valley following the recovery of bodies of three women and three children in Jiribam district. The six were abducted by armed Hmar militants from Jiribam and were found dead a few days later along the Manipur-Assam border.
Several residences of MLAs and ministers were vandalised and torched during the riots that followed the incident.
