Manipur: Office of Snack Manufacturer Targeted with Grenade, Threat Note

Imphal: According to authorities, a hand grenade and a threat letter were discovered outside the office of a popular snack manufacturer in the Bishnupur district of Manipur on Tuesday. As per reports, the hand grenade was discovered outside Kangla Food's Nambol office at around 6:30 in the morning. The company's employees saw it right away and alerted the police, who confiscated the hand grenade.

"No more warning after this" and "we have been waiting for your calls for many months" were written in the discovered note, according to the police. They said that the threat had something to do with extortion and that an investigation had been launched.

Recently, in a shocking turn of events, a government employee was linked to a recently formed terrorist group that had targeted a number of high-ranking government officials in Assam's Udalguri region in an extortion case.

According to reports, Gokul Basumatary, a third-grade employee at the Sub-Divisional Officer's office, was arrested by Udalguri police after they received police complaints of extortion and threats from government officials of the Bhergaon sub-divisional office. Basumatary allegedly assisted the extortionist group in requesting money from multiple government offices in the Udalguri district.

A history sheeter named Daoharu Boro, a former NDFB cadre, led the newly-floated group under the name and style of the Liberation Tigers Force of Boroland (LTFB), according to Udalguri Superintendent of Police Pushkin Jain. Boro and two accomplices planned the extortion scheme that targeted district government offices.

Four people, Daoharu Boro, Gokul Basumatary, Akhrang Basumatary, and Buddhadev Daimary, were arrested in connection with the extortion case after the Udalguri and Tangla police opened an investigation into the matter after a government official at the Tangla police station filed a complaint.
