Security forces said on Saturday that they were forced to let go of the Kanglie Yawol Kanna Lup (KYKL) millitants, after they had caught a women led mob of around 1500, surrounded them and prevented the combing operation in Manipur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An Indian army spokeperson said that the 12 KYKL members they had caught included Moirangthem Tamba, the mastermind of the 2015 terrorist attack that killed 18 army personnel. As per specific intelligence inputs an operation was launched by security forces in Itham village in Imphal East. In the operation, 12 KYKL millitants were arrested along with arms, ammunition and war like stores. One of the militants caught was identified as Moirangthem Tamba alias Uttam who was the mastermind of the Dogra millitant attack of 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Soon afterwards, an official said a mob of 1200-1500 led by women and local leader immediately surrounded the target area and prevented the security forces carry out the combing operation. The 12 militants were handed over to the local leader. The Indian army seized the war like stores recovered from militants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On June 22, a mob led by women protestors blocked a CBI team which was entering the Manipur police training college to investigate the looting of arms. On June 23, the army tweeted that mobs led by women stopped Indian Army personnel from reaching an area where armed militants were firing using automatic guns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Clashes between the Kukis and the Meiteis first erupted on May 3 during protest against the court order tweak to the state\u2019s reservation matrix, granting scheduled tribe status to the Meiteis. Violences between the two ethnic groups engulfed the state of Manipur. Many people fled their homes into the jungle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The authorities responded immediately and put a curfew and suspended the internet . More security forces were called to put a brake on the ethnic clashes. Internet is still not operational in the state. On June 4 the Union government formed a three member judicial enquiry panel to probe the ethnic violence in Manipur on the recommendation of the state government.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
