NSCN (R) militant nabbed in Arunachal Pradesh
Kohima based Defence PRO Colonel Chiranjeet Konwer said that, based on intelligence input, the Longding Battalion of Assam Rifles under DAO DIVISION launched operation at Mintong village in Longding District and apprehended the NSCN (R) militant.
The nabbed militant was identified as Chawang Wangsa, Self Styled Private of NSCN(R).
“The militant was trying to terrorize and attempting extortion. The Longding battalion swiftly launched an operation and apprehended the individual along with a pistol and ammunition. Post spot interrogation he admitted allegiance to NSCN(R), he further divulged that he has been active part of the outfit since 2013,” Konwer 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.
