Manipur Militant Sought for Assam Rifles Colonel’s Murder, Family Detained for Five Years

Manipur security agencies have confirmed that a militant from the state remains at large after being implicated in the murder of an Assam Rifles colonel. The case, which has drawn attention from both state and central law‑enforcement, continues to be a priority for the armed forces.
The suspect’s immediate family has been placed under detention for the past five years, a measure officials say is intended to prevent interference with the ongoing investigation and to apply pressure on the wanted individual.
While the colonel’s death remains unresolved, authorities have not disclosed any further details about the militant’s identity or the exact circumstances of the killing, emphasizing that the investigation is still active and that any new leads will be pursued vigorously.
