Impal, Jul 24:
Troops of 13 Assam Rifles raided a detention centre set up by the NSCN (IM) at Ukhrul yesterday and rescued five youths who were being kept captive there.
In a statement, PRO of Assam Rifles said that existence of the 'jail complex' once again highlights the parallel governance and illegal activities carried out by the NSCN (IM) at Ukhrul.
Earlier on January 5 this year, AR troops carried out a similar raid in the same jail complex in which two NSCN (IM) cadres were arrested along with a huge cache of arms and war like stores.
During yesterday's raid four NSCN (IM) cadres were rounded up said the statement and identified them as SS Sgt Maj Jiten Jo (27) of Matikai, Phek, SS Cpl Danny Shimray (22) of Upper Hundung, Pvt Minthing (20) of Pushing and Pvt Imu Pove (18) of Haflong.
One 9 mm carbine, .303 rifle, two mobile phones and a large quantity of ammunition, ration and incriminating documents were recovered.
The five youths rescued were released through the police, said the statement and added that though the NSCN (IM) claims that it is an internal matter and jail complex is a traditional requirement for rogue civilians, the operation proves their illegal activities.
