Two members of an arms-smuggling racket have been arrested at Manipur’s Churachandpur district during a search operation, a police officer said.
The two accused, who were arrested on Saturday, confessed to have brought arms from Behiang village at the India-Myanmar border to Churachandpur town via Singngat, the sub-divisional headquarters of the district, he said.
Based on their statements, the police raided a storage vault at Sumchinvum village in Churachandpur and seized two rifles and several magazines, the officer said, adding that more details in the case would be available after further investigation. PTI
