A joint team of army and police in a predawn raid on Friday at Kalaghata under Bandarban Pourasava arrested nine people whom they linked to an insurgent group of Indian state Manipur. The law enforcers picked up 10 people from the house of one RK Khambal and a farmhouse deep into the forest at 2:00am, but later released one after primary interrogation. They seized some Indian currencies, a powerful binocular and some documents from their possession. It has been informed that two of the detained persons are Indians and the rest seven are Bangladeshi Monipuris.
