Guwahati, Mar 29 (IBNS) : Security forces apprehended a NSCN (K) militant from Arunachal Pradesh’s Tirap district on Wednesday morning, officials said.

Kohima based Defence PRO Colonel Chiranjeet Konwer said that, based on intelligence input, the Khonsa Battalion of Assam Rifles undertook an operation at Laju village of Tirap District and nabbed the militant.

The nabbed militant was identified as Wanghu Rangshong, Self Styled Private of NSCN(K).

Security forces had recovered a pistol, ammunition and extortion notes in possession from him.

“Post spot interrogation he admitted allegiance to NSCN(K), he further divulged that he has been active part of the outfit since 2014,” the Defence PRO said.

Security forces have been carrying out aggressive operations in the South Arunachal Pradesh and this apprehension has struck a blow to the extortion activities being carried out by the underground cadres of the group in the area.
