LONGDING, Feb 28: The Longding Battalion of Assam Rifles and State Police achieved a major breakthrough on Monday when the joint team busted a deep rooted extortion nexus of NSCN-IM in Longding District of Arunachal Pradesh.
Based on a specific intelligence input, the identity of the suspected individual was ascertained and he was systematically tracked by the security forces and police in the late afternoon on February 27.  The joint team arrested the suspected NSCN-IM operative from the premises of State Bank of India Longding, at around 5 pm.
During the initial interrogation, the apprehendee confessed to his involvement in orchestrating illegal extortion network of NSCN-IM in Longding District on behalf of his handler, Self Styled Chief Administrative Officer Wanham Wangsa. The electronic money transfer trail traced from his smart phone exposed his intimate involvement in aiding the illegal activities of the Under Ground faction.
Since January this year, the security forces and state police deployed in insurgency infested Tirap, Changlang and Longding Districts have carried out a series of successful operations, thus generating a sustained pressure on the Under Ground organizations. The recent arrest is indeed a massive blow to the illegal extortion activities of NSCN-IM and a sigh of relief for Wanchos inhabiting Longding District. DIPRO
