The report added that police later took custody of the arrested individuals under relevant sections of the law to proceed with legal action.
These arrests followed a call made by Sohan Giri, founder and national president of the RSS, during the Chalo Manipur campaign held in Delhi on May 3, 2025.
Giri urged authorities to ensure proper rehabilitation for internally displaced persons affected by two years of ethnic violence, which has displaced over 60,000 people from their ancestral homes. Many continue to live in difficult conditions in relief camps.
