NT Bureau, Agencies

Imphal: Hundreds of commando personnel of all five districts in the Imphal Valley region on Wednesday held a symbolic ‘arms down' protest against the mob attack on the residence of an Additional Superintendent of Police Amit Kumar Moirangthem and his abduction, officials said.

The commandos put down their arms asking for action against Metei radical group Arambai Tenggol and no hindrance from political executives when the forces act, they said.

They are protesting against Tuesday's incident during which a group of Meira Paibis (women volunteer group) and cadres of Arambai Tenngol, a Meitei organisation, stormed into the police officer's residence, abducted him and beat up the personnel guarding him.
