They were apprehended from Imphal East and West districts, the police statement said.
"Following an investigation into a case of bomb explosion at Lilong Chajing area in Imphal West district, three active cadres of the banned Kangleipak Communist Party (Apunba) were arrested from different locations of Imphal West and Imphal East districts during the last two days," it said.
A pistol and ammunition were recovered from their possession, the police said.
