Dimapur, May 3 (MExN): The NSCN (IM) today questioned what it called the “reckless behavior” of one Captain Ganga Singh of the Assam Rifles posted at Lambui-Shokvao village. Terming his behavior to be “unwelcoming,” a note from the outfit’s ‘MIP’ said that on 2nd May at around 1:00pm one W.Shimray, a dy. kilonser of “forest, environment and minerals” was detained for half an hour while on way from Ukhrul via Lamlang gate. “He was openly insulted and humiliated in front of the whole villagers without any reason” the note alleged. In a similar incident, the AR under the command of the said Captain Ganga Singh raided the house of one Clement Lungleng of Shokvao village “without the knowledge and presence of the village headman”. The action and the motive behind the AR’s action are simply to disturb the existing peaceful environment in the area, the outfit added.
