Manipur: Army seizes huge illegal arms cache including grenades in Bishnupur district

Digital Desk: A substantial cache of illicit weapons and ammunition was found after the Indian Army, the SSB, and the Manipur Police Commandos carried out a successful joint operation. On April 4, 2024, an operation was carried out in the general vicinity of Khujoi Rok Nala, close to Sadu Kabui Village in the Bishnupur district of Manipur. The action resulted in a substantial amount of war-like goods. 

A.303 rifle, a 9mm handgun, a Sten Gun Mk-2, a 9mm carbine machine gun, an anti-riot gun, 14 grenades, ammo, and other war-related supplies are among the arsenal's seized weapons.

A specific piece of intelligence about the movements of suspicious people and the availability of illicit weapons and ammunition in the vicinity served as the basis for the start of this operation. The successful completion of the mission was made possible by the joint efforts of the Manipur Police, SSB, and Indian Army, including Commandos. 

The Manipur Police received the retrieved materials after the operation for additional investigation and possible legal action.
