The NSCN (IM) further alleged that the following items were “taken away” during the raid: a cash receipt book of 5%, recently audited cash book and payment endorsement for region.
“The 32 Assam Riffles came and raided on the pretext of ‘Report’ with full concealment of their identities by wearing mask and without identification badge, which is purely a violation of ceasefire ground rules and it has a psychological effect on the young kids and women. This is the third time the Assam Riffles had raided this very house,” the NSCN (IM) alleged.
