"Manipur Police arrested three armed miscreants and apprehended one juvenile from... Imphal East district, who were found loitering in the area to commit... extortion of money from general public and government officials... as well as threatening the general public," the police said in a statement. "They were later found to be members of Arambai Tenggol," the police said, referring to the Meitei armed group which calls itself "defence volunteers".
The Arambai Tenggol maintains it started out as a youth group of the valley-dominant Meitei community, but took up arms after ethnic clashes with the Kuki tribes began in May 2023. Locally known as AT, it faces charges of looting weapons from police armouries, acts which it says were necessary to protect the Meitei community from Kuki militants and due to ineffective action by security forces in the early days of the ethnic clashes.
