Significant Operation Leads to Arrest of KCP Commander

In a critical and high-stakes joint operation, security agencies have apprehended Haobijam Dilip Singh, a key mastermind and commander of the banned militant group 'Kangleipak Communist Party' (KCP), in Delhi. Authorities suspected that Singh had arrived in the capital to orchestrate a significant and covert terrorist meeting. This success was achieved through a well-coordinated effort involving the Special Cell of the Delhi Police, Manipur Police, and a central intelligence agency, based on precise intelligence inputs. Following his arrest, security agencies uncovered several shocking revelations that have sent ripples through the country's security apparatus.

Weapons Seized Following Interrogation

After his capture, extensive questioning of the wanted militant led to one of the largest recoveries of weapons and ammunition in the Kakching area of Manipur in recent times. The security forces discovered a cache of arms that suggests a foiled plot to unleash widespread violence, both within the state and potentially beyond.

Details of the Seized Arsenal

During the operation, a substantial collection of weapons was confiscated, including an AK-56 rifle, an 'Amogh' rifle, an 'AI' rifle, and an 'M4' rifle equipped with a scope. Additionally, numerous empty magazines for INSAS, AK, SLR, M4, and LMG rifles were found. The recovered items also included 51 HE bombs, two 'para bombs', 11 detonators, and four 'lethod shells'. Furthermore, approximately 2,000 live cartridges compatible with 'Amogh', INSAS, AK, .303, and SLR rifles were seized.

Other Items Recovered During the Operation

The security teams also confiscated various colored bags, a tarpaulin sheet, plastic bags, and a Redmi 13C mobile phone. This phone contained Airtel and Jio SIM cards, which are currently being investigated for communication trails.

Investigating Potential Threats to Delhi

The presence of a top militant commander in the national capital has raised serious concerns. Central agencies are now probing whether Delhi was a potential target or if the meeting was intended for planning militant activities in Manipur or other regions. The accused already faces over 12 cases registered under the UAPA.
