The attack on the 33 Assam Rifles truck took place at Nambol Sabal Leikai in the Bishnupur area of Manipur in September 2025. It was perpetrated by the PLA in furtherance of a conspiracy to create terror in the minds of the people and wage war against the Government of India with the intent of destabilising the country, the release stated.
