Manipur Police arrested three individuals from the Wabagai Lamkhai Thongkha area under Kakching Police Station jurisdiction on Tuesday, August 19. The arrested suspects are Thinmai Kaisidindou Liangmei (53) from Taban village, Tamenglong district; Lunghipuiliu (37) of Kawalong, Tamenglong district; and Nanathongliu (42) from Makui, Kangpokpi district.
During the operation, police recovered a large quantity of contraband — 91 soap cases containing heroin powder weighing approximately 1.12 kilograms. Additionally, a Bolero vehicle, five mobile phones, and two Aadhaar cards were seized from the accused.
A case has been registered, and further investigation is ongoing to uncover the wider network involved in this drug trafficking operation. Police sources said this arrest is part of intensified efforts to clamp down on narcotics smuggling, as Manipur remains a significant transit point for illegal drugs.
