Imphal, New Delhi: A noted Manipuri actress has been arrested in Imphal for her alleged terror links on her return from New Delhi after she was caught by the Delhi Police with a top separatist leader in the national capital.
Official sources said that Urikhinbam Devita, a popular actress was arrested by Bishnupur Police from the Tulihal Airport in Imphal on Monday evening under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.
They said the actress was arrested by the local police after they were informed by their Delhi counterparts that she was caught with R K Raghunath, a top leader of the outlawed
Kanglei Yawol Kanna Lup (KYKL), who was arrested in the national capital on Saturday.
Sources said Devita was present along with Raghunath when Delhi Police had stormed into their hotel room in Delhi.
Delhi Police sources said, though she was questioned, nothing incriminating could be established and hence she was let off without a case being registered.
The Delhi Police had in turn informed the Manipur Police about the arrest as well as the presence of Devita.
Sources said, a team of women constables of Bishnupur District Police were waiting for the actress to touch down and detained her in the arrival lounge itself.
Late in the evening, she was formally arrested by the police for her alleged terror links.
