September 16, 2015 14:28
Three months after a attack on the Indian Army in Manipur, the government has banned the Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagaland-Khaplang.
The ban comes soon after the National Investigation Agency last week declared rewards of Rs 10 lakh and Rs 7 lakh, respectively, on NSCN-K military commander Niki Sumi and chief SS Khaplang for their involvement in planning the ambush on the 6 Dogra Army convoy on June 4 in Manipur that left 18 army personnel dead.
The outfit had unilaterally abrogated the ceasefire with the Centre and conducted the attack on army on June 4. The Centre also blamed the NSCN-K for an ambush on the Assam Rifles in May that left eight security personnel dead.
The NIA would be able to freeze the assets and properties of NSCN-K leaders in India under the ongoing investigation in Manipur ambush case once the organisation is banned, The Economic Times reports.
