According to a notice issued by the home department in the evening, Rs five lakh would be awarded to any person for information leading to the arrest of the militant Livingstone Anal.
Chandel police has also registered an FIR in connection with the December 18 alleged molestation of the actress Momoko by the militant, the notice said.
Earlier in the day, police used teargas and smoke bombs to disperse hundreds of protesters, who have defied the curfew clamped on the entire Manipur valley to demand arrest of the militant for molesting the actress in public during a musical concert at Chandel and to protest the death of a photojournalist yesterday.
The protesters took out rallies, blocked roads and burnt tyres in Imphal East, Imphal West, Bishenpur and Thoubal districts, official sources said.
They hit the streets as soon as the 16-hour curfew, clamped in Imphal East and Imphal West districts from 2 pm yesterday, ended this morning.
The police fired smoke bombs and teargas at Thangmeiband, near here, where photojournalist Thangjam Nanao Singh was killed in police firing yesterday, they said.
