Meghalaya Police neutralised the ‘finance cell’ of the Manipur-based Kanglei Yawol Kanna Lup (KYKL) when they arrested five suspected militants, including two women cadres, from a rented house in the Malki area of capital Shillong in the night of January 8, according to Telegraph.

Three suspected cadres of the Manipur-based People’s Liberation Army (PLA), including a woman, were arrested by the Border Security (BSF) personnel when they were attempting to exfiltrate into Bangladesh through an area of the Beltoli Border Outpost (BOP) near Icchamati in the East Khasi Hills District on February 3, according to Assam Tribune.

The Border Security Force (BSF) personnel arrested two suspected Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) operatives from Umkrem near Pyrdiwah in East Khasi Hills District along India-Bangladesh border on December 2, according to Telegraph. They were subsequently handed over to the Meghalaya Police. They were identified as Siraj Shamzudin (30) and Nazir Tarian Dabede (25) and both of them belonged to Kannur District in Kerala. A senior Police official said the militants had confessed their involvement in 2008 serial bomb blasts in Bangalore. They had also masterminded the 2005 terror attack in the same city of Bangalore. They managed to escape Bangladesh soon after the blasts and stayed there till they surfaced in on the Meghalaya border. The BSF public relations officer Ravi Gandhi said that Security Forces in Bangladesh had provided intelligence inputs to the BSF leading to their arrest. “The militants have confessed to belong to LeT though we could not recover any document or identity card from them,” Meghalaya Director General of Police S.B. Kakati said. The militants also did not possess any arm or ammunition. A senior Police official said the militants spoke fluent English. “They seem to be highly educated and are the brain behind many other bomb attacks in the southern states,” he mentioned. According to the Police, the LeT operatives had no contact or guide in Meghalaya and were probably trying to travel from Shillong to the mainland by themselves. The Police sources said that their guide in Bangladesh may have helped them to reach the border and returned soon after. “The LeT militants wanted to go to mainland India after reaching Shillong. We do not know what new mission they were entrusted with,” a Police official said. The Police ruled out any plan by the LeT operatives to strike in the Northeast.
