Law enforcers, in a joint drive, arrested two more active members of the Kuki-Chin National Front (KNF) from Bethelpara in Ruma upazila of Bandarban district on Monday.

They also recovered seven guns, 20 bullets, laptop and uniform from their possession, said a press release of ISPR.

In a significant development on Sunday, RAB arrested Cheusim Bawm, the 55-year-old chief coordinator of KNF, from his home in Sualok in Sadar upazila of Bandarban.
