The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has arrested an absconding terrorist, who was involved in the ambush on a convoy of the Commandant of Assam Rifles in November last year in Manipur.
Seven persons including a Colonel of Assam Rifles, his wife and his son, were killed in the attack in Manipur's Churachandpur district on November 13 last year.
The militant, identified as Machukring Zamshim Shimray, a cadre of the lesser-known militant group Manipur Naga People's Front (MNPF), was arrested from Yaingangpokpi village in Manipur's Imphal East district. Militant groups People's Liberation Army and MNPF had jointly claimed responsibility for the gruesome attack on the team of Assam Rifles guarding the Indo-Myanmar border in Manipur.
An FIR, in this case, was lodged at Singngat police station, Churachandpur district under sections 121, 121A, 302, 307, 326, 34 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), Section 25 (1-C) of Arms Act, Sections 10, 16, 18, 20, 39 of UA(P) Act and Section 5 of Explosive Substances Act.
The NIA had taken over the case on November 27 last year and had announced a cash reward of Rs 4 lakh against Shimray.
