Militant Arrested in Connection with Bomb Blast at Manipur Petrol Pump
PTI, July 24, 2026, Imphal : A militant was arrested in Manipur's Bishnupur district in connection with a bomb blast at a petrol pump in Moirang, police said on Friday.
An active cadre of the banned Kanglei Yawol Kanna Lup (KYKL) was arrested from the Tera Urak checkpoint in Bishnupur district on Thursday, they said.
The arrested militant was identified as 39-year-old Mayanglambam Tomba Singh, a resident of Bijang Khunou in Churachandpur district who is currently staying at the Phubala Relief Camp.
Police said they recovered a 9 mm pistol with a magazine and 11 live rounds of ammunition of different calibres from his possession.
Singh was allegedly involved in an explosion at a petrol pump in Moirang earlier this year. No casualty was reported in the incident, they said.
In a separate operation, security forces arrested the suspected "finance head" of the banned United Kuki National Army (UKNA) from Molnom in Churachandpur district.
