NSCN-IM kills two ‘traitors’
KOHIMA: The National Socialist Council of Nagalim (Isak-Muivah)
shot dead two persons, including a member of its civilian
wing, for alleged “treachery” and attempt to defect to rival
National Socialist Council of Nagaland (Khaplang) on Saturday
near Wokha town in Nagaland. The dead have been identified
as Shanbemo Ovung (25), an NSCN (I-M) activist, and a civilian
identified as Dipen Singh (19).
Police later found the bodies from Elumyo village along with
an empty shell of a US carbine from the site.
On Friday, Ovung and Singh were reportedly fleeing on a Mokokchung-bound
Tata Sumo taxi, allegedly to join the rival faction, when
some NSCN (I-M) activists captured and brought them back to
Wokha and shot them from close range.
In a press release, the NSCN (I-M) claimed that the two were
awarded “capital punishment” for violating the outfit’s “principles”
in connivance with its rival. “Shanbemo in his confession
stated of deliberately violating the national principles with
Dipen and despite repeated warnings, in collaboration with
the adversaries he had indulged in anti-national activities,”
the release said.
