MYSORE: Six cadres of the Manipur-based People's United Liberation Front (PULF) were arrested from a lodge here by a special police team from the northeastern state.

The team led by SP Radhe N Shyamsingh yesterday arrested Mohammed Islamuddin Khan, Mohammed Noor Shafi, Mohammed Noor, Abdul Jabbar, Nazir Khan and Mustafa, all in the age group of 33-55.

Four cell phones, Rs 7,960 in cash and "incriminating" documents were recovered from them.

Shyamsingh said the arrested belonged to the PULF's organisational wing and were involved in several cases of murder, kidnapping and extortion.

Only two months ago, the militants had kidnapped an executive engineer of the irrigation department and demanded a huge ransom for his release.

Explaining how the militants came all the way from Manipur to this city down south, Shyamsingh said they were planning to work out details for holding general assembly session of PULF and had chosen Guwahati (Assam) for their preliminary meeting.

As they were aware that police were after them, they went on shifting the venue from Guwahati to Kolkata, Chennai and Bangalore, and finally decided to meet in Mysore.

Two of them checked into a lodge on Saturday and four others joined them yesterday.

They are being taken to Imphal under transit remand custody.

Shyamsingh said though they (PULF) were spread out in many parts of the country and abroad, they carried out their activities in Manipur.
