Authorities have imposed a curfew and suspended internet services in parts of the northeastern Indian state of Manipur following fresh unrest triggered by the arrest of five leaders from the radical Meitei group, Arambai Tenggol.
Among those arrested on Sunday was Asem Kanan Singh, the group's chief, taken into custody by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) at Imphal airport. The CBI stated that Singh and others were involved in “various criminal activities” linked to the ethnic violence that began in 2023.
