Imphal, Dec 8: Even as the Eastern Command of the Indian Army has tweeted about the arrest of a couple for carrying Rs. 9,32,000 in new currency note by Assam Rifles near Moreh in Manipur along the Indo-Myanmar border, the state government authority as well as the Assam Rfiles authorities are not spelling out about the incident to media.
