Assam Rifles raid: NNC calls it conspiracy against NNPGs

Kohima, June 4 (MExN): The NNC ‘Parent Body’ today “strongly condemned” the midnight raid at the house of its leader V. Nagi, the General Secretary (NNC) & Co-convener of NNPGs Working Committee (WC) by Assam Rifles. The raid reportedly began around 11:30 pm on June 2 and lasted till 3:00 am the next morning.   A press release from YC Lotha, E. Patton, and LK Zeliang of Information & Publicity Wing, NNC alleged that the Assam Rifles came with "three camouflaged local youth in drunken mood" and ransacked the house after breaking the door lock in Nagi’s absence.   The AR troops were accused of taking the NNC leader’s “personal dollars collection from 1994 onwards of old notes, family members’ fixed deposits money of compensation/acquisition of land for four lane roads at Sechü Zubza, Kohima, two old Japanese rifle/one Lady Rifle of World War 2 with two helmets for use at Japanese Memorial site Puliebadze, Jotsoma on occasions, two licensed cartridge gun (not shotgun), one Air-Gun, one country made spoiled 9mm, one small normal binocular, one spoiled night vision, one spoiled .22 pen gun, some old photos of peace work, his personal security pistol, old records of NNC appeal/request for fund for peace and unity work in the homeland but not received amount of money records, NNC (Non-Violence Group) files/records, and family files of land/property etc.”   The Assam Rifles, NNC stated, raided and ransacked the house without warrant of any document from authority concerned with “certain intention of harm to our leader if at all present.” They nearly shot his son, it alleged.   The statement further claimed that the AR troops even raided girls’ hostel run by the family and terrified the hostellers. They are going to lodge complaint to the Women Commission/authority concerned, NNC added.   Alleging that the AR terrified all the family members including small children holed up, it added, they even threatened to come back again for such search.   “The Assam Rifles personnel came and did all these horrific and mental damage with one Captain Ankit and his army of about forty (40) jawans at this peaceful and negotiations (talk with GoI) time,” NNC noted.   “Did Assam Rifles carry out this search and ransack with specific input from negotiation table or from the government (GoI)?” it questioned. “These are all conspiracy against NNPGs on negotiation table and the leader in particular.”
