Manipur Police has arrested two persons, including a cadre of the banned People’s Liberation Army (PLA) of Manipur, for their alleged involvement in the killing and targeting of non-locals in the state in separate incidents.

Police sources said the PLA cadre was involved in the killing of a non-local on July 8, while another was arrested for planting a bomb at a workshed occupied by non-local workers at Andro Sanathi Park in Imphal East district.

The arrested PLA cadre has been identified as Hijam Sanatomba Singh, 25, a resident of Andro Khuman Lekai. Police said he was involved in transporting a gun that was used to kill a non-local who was gunned down by armed miscreants in Uchol Chingjin on Ngarian Andro Road on July 8.

The PLA cadre completed its basic training in Myanmar in 2016 under Army No. 3285. The police have arrested 21 PLA cadres in connection with the killing of non-locals.

The same day around 7:15 pm, the police arrested 32-year-old Hizam Itomba from Imphal East district.

He was allegedly involved in setting a grenade near a temporary work shed occupied by non-local laborers at Andro Santhei Park on the intervening night of June 2 and 3.
