Nagaon (Assam), Feb 11: A cadre of proscribed People’s Liberation Army (PLA) of Manipur, who was wanted in several cases, was arrested in Assam’s Hojai district, a top police official said on Tuesday.

The arrest was made during a search operation in Nilbagan area of the district on Sunday night, Hojai Superintendent of Police Saurabh Gupta said.
