Arrest of Nine Militants Carried Out by Security Forces in Manipur

In a recent development, the Bombay High Court has criticized the Maharashtra government for its inaction during the ongoing Maratha protest. The Maratha protest, a social or political movement, is not a security force, and its location is not specified in the article.

Meanwhile, in a separate incident, security forces in the northeastern state of Manipur made several arrests. Nine militants were arrested by security forces in Imphal West and Tengnoupal districts on Monday. The arrested militants were from the banned outfit Kangleipak Communist Party (Apunba), with two of them being apprehended from the Rupmahal Tank area in Imphal West district.

It is important to note that the Maratha protest is not directly related to the militant arrests in Manipur. The timing of the Maratha protest is also not specified in the article.

The militant group arrested in Imphal West and Tengnoupal districts before the Maratha supporters' protest in Bombay was the United Liberation Front of Assam (ULFA), whose location was not specified beyond these two districts.

The arrests made by the security forces were announced by the police on Tuesday. The Maratha protest, being the subject of the Bombay High Court's criticism, continues to draw attention and calls for action from the Maharashtra government.
