Hueiyen Lanpao, a vernacular daily in Manipur, was detained by Imphal police on Friday.
The reason behind his detention remains unknown so far. Police sources said that the detention is likely due to the news publication by the media house pertaining to the ongoing situation in Manipur.
Recently a court in Imphal granted bail to senior editor Wangkhemcha Shamjai, who was arrested for publishing an alleged incendiary report recently in his paper, Kangleipakki Meira, a vernacular evening daily.
Imphal police had arrested Shamjai, former president of the All Manipur Working Journalists’ Union (AMWJU), an umbrella body of the scribes of the state.
