Banned outfit, National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Khaplang's Chairman SS Khaplang died on Friday due to a prolonged illness.

Khaplang was responsible for several attacks on security forces in the northeast over the years.

The chief of Naga rebel outfit was wanted by the NIA for the 2015 attack on an army convoy in which 18 soldiers were killed.

Following the attack, the army had carried surgical strikes across the border in Myanmar and had destroyed several camps of the terror outfit.

Khaplang signed a ceasefire agreement with Myanmar in February, 2015 and ended the agreement with India in March. Soon after, his men launched an offensive against Indian forces.
