DIMAPUR, AUGUST 21 (MExN): The NSCN (I-M) today said they had unearthed, “for the clarification of public conscience,” the killing of Constable Hovizol Rajo (wireless department) at Kohima on October 3, 2006.
A statement issued today identified “Khaplang members involved in the killing” as ‘Lieutenant’ Hukato of Sanapsani village, ‘Private’ Isak of Sakhumi village, ‘Lieutenant’ Kukhahuto of Sanapsani village and ‘Sgt. Major’ Amando of Asukhoni village.
“The then Khaplang Town Commanders are Lieutenant Vitoyi of Tukunapani village and Lieutenant Tusika.”
The NSCN (I-M) further stated: “Notwithstanding its own lapses in maintaining disciplinary order among the Civil and Naga Army set up with occasional public outcry, the NSCN cannot sit silent, but condemn the assault on the former president of Angami Students Union Medo Yhokha by the cadres of Khaplang group. Befitting punishment should be given to any such criminal minded persons who dare to raise hand against a student leader.
“NSCN will be taking all necessary steps to root out criminal elements in the organization and the public are requested to be alert of any such criminals on the prowl disguised as national workers.”
