At least four militants of the banned United National Liberation Front-Pambei outfit were injured in a clash with members of Meitei radical organisation Arambai Tenggol in Manipur's Imphal East district, the police said on Sunday.
The four injured UNLF-Pambei militants were taken into police custody and treated at a hospital and their condition is reported to be out of danger, a police officer said.
The incident took place on Saturday afternoon when around 15-20 members of Arambai Tenggol barged into the residence of a UNLF militant, identified as Irengbam Nandakumar Singh (56), in Kongpal Chingangbam Leikai and attacked insurgents of the Imphal Valley-based outfit, he said.
Four UNLF-Pambei militants present in the house received blunt injuries caused by sticks, the officer said.
A few rounds were also fired by both sides, prompting security forces to rush to the spot, he said.
