The arrest was handled by Basistha police, with assistance from Gajraj intelligence. The suspect, Mayanglambam Bobby Singh from Kakching district, was discovered hiding in a guesthouse in Paltan Bazar. Authorities suspect he was staying at another hotel in Beharbari in the days before the operation.
