Guwahati, June 13 (NKTV): Assam Rifles and Mizoram Police, in a joint operation conducted at Kakichhuah village in Lawngtlai district of Mizoram, apprehended five cadres of the Arakan Liberation Party and recovered one 9mm pistol with magazine, one 9mm revolver, four grenades and 55 live ammunition rounds.

An Assam Rifles official informed that there have been previous inputs of the ALP cadre establishing medical camps at Kakichhuah and distributing Covid-19 essential items to locals as part of their propaganda. “It has come to light that the medical camp was just a temporary base for their larger intent. Some of the ALP cadres were indulging in extortion by promising Rakhine nationalism and exploiting their fear for it and the Arakan Army. It has also come to light that they have demanded about three lakh rupees from the village head. Realising the intensity of the situation, the local sources informed about it to the Assam Rifles” the official added.

The five apprehended activists of the Arakan Liberation Party were later handed over to Lawngtlai Police.
