DIMAPUR, SEPTEMBER 12 (MExN): The NSCN-K (Yung Aung group) has claimed it identified an individual from Tesophenyü village, Tseminyu district, who has been impersonating the organization to illegally collect funds from government departments, businesses and construction companies in Nagaland over the past two years.
In a MIP statement, the NSCN-K (YA) clarified that Ethomo Rengma, who claimed to be a Kilonser and Western Finance in-charge of NSCN/GPRN (YA), acted without any authorization. It emphasized that all taxation and financial matters in Nagaland are directly managed by its Central Finance Committee, and it has no connection with the individual.
The statement warned that Ethomo Rengma has been given repeated chances to stop his fraudulent activities, but his continued actions leave the organization with no choice but to consider strict measures. The NSCN-K (YA) urged stakeholders to remain vigilant and not engage with any unauthorized individuals claiming affiliation with the group, cautioning that any dealings would be at their own risk.
The organization also called upon the Rengma Hoho and Tesophenyü village authorities to take strong action against the imposter to prevent further escalation and potential violence. The statement was described as a final warning to Ethomo Rengma to immediately cease all illegal activities.
