Two Chinese hand grenades, one detonator, one 9 mm pistol and two live rounds have been recovered from their possession.
Parading the arrested persons along with the seized arms before media persons at commando complex here today, Imphal West SDPO AK Jhaljit disclosed that one Achouba who reportedly identified himself as a Lieutenant of PREPAK asked Th Nobo and L Nandakumar to hurl a bomb at the Porompat residence of Veterinary and Animal Husbandry Director Dr Doren.

Achouba further detailed Nandakumar that one Thokchom Nobo would be coming to deliver a Chinese hand grenade.
The same hand grenades were delivered on December 31 . Nandakumar and his wife Asharani were apprehended by commandos from Kongpal Chanam Leikai at about 8.30 pm yesterday on their way to bomb the residence of Director Doren.

Lt Achouba of PREPAK also instructed Nobo to collect 10 percent of the annual incomes of sericulture offices located in Imphal East, Imphal West, Bishnupur and Thoubal districts, the SDPO disclosed.
The bomb attack at the residence of MLA Hemochandra on February 24 last year was undertaken by one Roshan of PREPAK.
Roshan stayed at the home of Nobo that night, informed Jhaljit quoting statements given by Nobo.
