Two mutilated bodies found at a bomb blast site in Manipur | Zee News

Imphal: Two mutilated bodies were found at the the site of a powerful bomb explosion near the residence of an MLA in Manipur's Thoubal district last night, a police official said.

The blast occurred in Yairipok Bishnu Naha village of MLA K Meghachandra Singh's Wangkhem assembly constituency.

It was suspected that the two young men, whose bodies were recovered, carried the bombs in a two-wheeler which they rode, a police official said, adding that the mangled parts of a vehicle were found lying scattered near the residential gate of the MLA.

However, the MLA, who is also the Parliamentary Secretary of the Directorate of Information and Public Relations, was away in Imphal, the official said.

One of the multilated bodies could be identified by the police from a driving licence found in the pocket as that of Nameirakpam Boboi of Poirou Khongjil village in Imphal East district.

He reportedly left his home some years ago to join an insurgent outfit but the other multilated body was yet to be identified, the official said.

The police have registered a case in this connection and investigations are on.

Guwahati: A hardcore cadre of the anti-talk faction of the National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB), who was also wanted by the National Investigating Agency (NIA), was gunned down on Saturday during an encounter with the security forces in Assam's Chirang district.


A defence spokesman based in Guwahati said this, adding that the militant, identified as Jaola Basumatary, was also wanted by the NIA for his involvement in the December 2014 massacre of the Adivasi people in Assam.

"The army launched a joint operation with Assam Police late Friday evening at a remote location in Chirang district. The security forces had received specific information about the presence of the NDFB commander and immediately swung into action," the defence spokesperson said.

"Jaola opened fire, forcing the security forces to retaliate and the militant sustained injury," said the official and added that though he was taken to hospital in the early hours of Saturday, the doctor declared him brought dead.

A commander of the outfit, Jaola was part of the notable hierarchy in the group and was involved in the December 2014 Kokrajhar carnage, where Adivasi people were killed.

The NIA had registered three cases against him in this regard and was on the lookout for him.

The army spokesman said that a pistol and some ammunition were recovered from the slain militant.

Four arms suppliers to militant groups held in Meghalaya | Zee News

Shillong: At least four arms suppliers associated with two militant outfits were arrested in Meghalaya's West Garo Hills district, police said today.

While one of them is a cadre of the NSCN(K), the other three are associated with the proscribed Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA).

GNLA chief Sohan D Shira has inducted the three specifically to help smuggling arms from Dimapur for the outfit.

IG (Operations) G H P Raju said the four were arrested in an early raid yesterday in Tura whey they were getting ready to go to Dimapur for bringing arms and ammunition for the GNLA, he said.

The Nagaland based NSCN(K) cadre Peirai Hao, who was recently released from Tura jail, is suspected to be the kingpin of the arms supplying gang, he said.

From their possession, police have recovered 12 rounds of AK ammunition, a GNLA demand note and Rs 1.5 lakh cash.

The other three arrested persons were identified as Nobin D Sangma, Livingstone Ch Marak and Balgranj R Marak.

Police believe that Nobin used to go to Nagaland with his family members to smuggle weapons in his personal car to avoid suspicion and he had been able to befool the police this way on several occasions.

Nobin confessed to have brought two AK riffles three days back from Dimapur and delivered it to Sohan, the IG said.

Former defence minister Manohar Parrikar on Friday said an “insulting” question by a television anchor to Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore after the 2015 anti-insurgency operation along the Myanmar border prompted him to plan last year’s ‘surgical strikes’ in Azad Kashmir.

Speaking before a gathering of industrialists in Panaji on Saturday, the Goa Chief Minister said, “The surgical strikes against militants in Azad Kashmir (Pakistan Occupied Kashmir) was planned 15 months in advance.”

On June 4, 2015, north-eastern militant group NSCN-K ambushed an Indian Army convoy in Chandel district of Manipur and killed 18 jawans.

Mr. Parrikar said when he was informed about the incident, “I felt insulted....A small terrorist organisation of 200 people killing 18 Dogra soldiers was an insult to the Indian Army and we sat in the afternoon and sat in the evening and worked out the (plan of) first surgical strike which was conducted on 8th June morning in which about 70-80 terrorists were killed (along the India-Myanmar border).”

“It was a very successful strike,” he said, adding that on Army’s side, the only instance of an injury was a leech attaching itself to a soldier’s leg.

Contrary to some reports, no helicopters were used. “I had placed helicopters (on stand by) only in case of emergency evacuation,” he said.

“But one question (from media) hurt me. (Union minister) Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore, an ex-Armyman, was on TV and he was explaining about all kinds of search operations. An anchor asked him ‘would you have the courage and capability of doing the same on the western front’,” Mr. Parrikar recalled.

“I listened very intensely but decided to answer when the time came. The starting of September 29 (2016) surgical strike on the western border was 9th of June, 2015....We planned 15 months in advance. Additional troops were trained. Equipment was procured on priority basis,” he said.

The Swathi Weapon Locating Radar, developed by the DRDO, was used first in September 2016 to locate “firing units” of Pakistani Army, though the system was inducted officially three months later, Parrikar said.

Thanks to this Radar, forty firing units of Pakistani Army were destroyed, he added.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has arrested a member of a banned Manipur terrorist organisation who was allegedly a part of the team that carried out an attack on an Army convoy in June 2015, in which 18 soldiers were killed and 15 other injured, an official spokesperson said here.

Messengers being sent to talk to Khango Konyak, who is said to be on the Myanmar border

The Centre has held meetings to discuss if Khango Konyak, former chairman of the National Socialist Council of Nagaland (Khaplang), who was impeached and expelled by the Myanmar-based outfit could be allowed to enter India.

In 2015, the Union Cabinet headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi had approved banning the NSCN-K under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act for five years.

The NSCN-K had ousted Khango Konyak accusing him of being an Indian agent.

He had taken over as chairman of the NSCN-K after the banned group’s leader S.S. Khaplang died in June 2017 in a Yangon hospital after a prolonged illness.

Konyak, it is said, is somewhere along the Myanmar border waiting to hear from the Indian authorities.

“A meeting was held to discuss whether Konyak should be allowed to come to India as he was associated with a banned group. We have to see if he can be of any use to the authorities in terms of disintegrating the NSCN-K,” a senior government official told The Hindu.

Yung Aung, the acting chairman of NSCN-K, is a relative of Khaplang and belongs to the Hemi Naga community, native to Myanmar. Indian agencies suspect he has close links with China.

Confirming this, Nagaland’s Deputy Home Minister Y. Patton told The Hindu that they had sent messengers to speak to Konyak.

Wait and watch
“We are trying to bring him back to Nagaland…The problem is he has not made up his mind whether to remain with NSCN-K or come back and join the ceasefire. We have appealed to NSCN-K to also join the ceasefire. Let us wait and see…we are on the job,” Mr. Patton said.

“Konyak claims he has a large number of followers in NSCN-K who are ready to desert the outfit and follow him. As per our information, he only has seven members with him. A realistic call will have to be taken on his return,” the official said.

On August 16, a statement issued by the council’s headquarters in Myanmar’s Sagaing region — adjoining Nagaland and Arunachal Pradesh — said it had “unanimously impeached” its chairman for violating “party discipline.” In 2015, militants belonging to the NSCN-K killed 18 Army personnel in Chandel district of Manipur, following which the Indian Army carried out an operation in the bordering areas of Myanmar to destroy the extremist camps
