Manipur Unrest: CBI Arrests Meitei Leader Kanan Singh Amid Violent Protests

In this special report by Democratic News TV, anchor Shibnath delves into the escalating crisis in Manipur following the arrest of radical Meitei leader Kanan Singh, commander of the controversial outfit Arambai Tenggol. A former Manipur police head constable, Singh was arrested by the CBI for his alleged involvement in violent crimes, including abduction, extortion, and assault on law enforcement officers.
His arrest has reignited unrest across Imphal Valley, leading to violent protests, curfews, internet shutdowns, and clashes with security forces. Protesters, mostly from the Meitei community, have called for his immediate release, alleging state bias and double standards in the treatment of ethnic groups involved in ongoing violence.
Founded in 2020 as a cultural group, Arambai Tenggol has grown into a powerful militia accused of looting arms, threatening officials, and destabilizing democratic institutions in Manipur. The group’s influence has become so strong that it’s often referred to as a "parallel government."
With President’s Rule in effect and over 250 lives lost since ethnic violence erupted in 2023, the situation remains tense. Political leaders, including former CM N. Biren Singh, have rushed to Delhi for urgent talks, while Governor Ajay Bhalla reviews security measures.
This report explores the deeper ethnic, political, and law enforcement challenges facing Manipur, and what lies ahead for peace and justice in the region. Stay tuned with Democratic News TV for verified updates and fearless journalism from India’s most sensitive conflict zones.
