Kohima based Defence PRO Colonel Chiranjeet Konwer said that based on intelligence input, the Assam Rifles troops under the aegis of DAO division conducted an operation at Ledo town on Tuesday night and nabbed a NSCN (IM) militant identified as Timsay Pongner.

“The battalions swiftly launched an joint operation and apprehended the militant. Post spot interrogation he admitted allegiance to NSCN(IM), further divulging that he has been associated with the outfit since April 2016 and has been actively supporting the outfit in its activities by carrying out extortion and providing Logistic support.
