GPRN/NSCN Monday, accused the 38 Assam Rifles (C-Coy) of Meluri post under the commandership of Maj. Sohail Sheikh and 2nd i/c Capt. Raishing Tangkhul of “continued self-styled transgressions and implicating/tainting the Naga army cadres of the area under dubious charges time and again.”
Strongly condemning the 38 Assam Rifles C-Coy of Meluri Post, GPRN/NSCN though its MIP said they have “once again engaged to orchestrate” in apprehending its member “Captain” Mhabemo Lotha on “an ungrounded accusation” of possessing a country-made pistol on June 22, 2022 at around 11:30pm at Meluri town.
On that night, MIP said that “Capt.” Mhabemo Lotha considering the prevailing congenial atmosphere and in response to the call from 2nd i/c of the AR Coy, had gone to meet him without any inhibition at Meluri main town “sensing some important bilateral matter.”
However, MIP said that on reaching the spot, he was immediately apprehended and charged of possessing firearm, which “they (38 AR, C-Coy) have surreptitiously planted on him (the Naga army officer).”
MIP claimed it was “a matter of unfounded implication for a deceitful motive and interest” since the “Naga army cadres are neither assigned with nor issued any sort of firearms in this prevailing peaceful situation in the area.”
MIP stated that “similar vicious incident and activity” was created in February 2022 by the same C-Coy at Meluri town, which led to the death of a Naga army cadre “Sgt. Maj.” Turhuli Thupitor in Meluri police station custody “under queer manner.”
MIP stated that “this continued unethical and contemptible act” of C-coy with total disregard and contempt of Ceasefire Ground Rules (CFGR) undermined the venerable mutual relationship reached so far between the government of India and GPRN/NSCN and “prospective peaceful conclusion of the Indo-Naga political issue.”
Stating that it was “seriously contemplating the unacceptable conduct and insinuating adventure”, GPRN/NSCN has, therefore, advised the 38 AR (C-Coy) of Meluri Post to refrain from their “continued rogue and provocative indulgences upon the Naga national workers” and not act as a detrimental element upon the “much awaited Indo-Naga political solution.”
GPRN/NSCN has urged the CFMG/CFSB chairman to reign in and clear the mischievous charge levelled upon the “Naga army officer namely, Captain Mhabemo Lotha at the earliest for his early release.”
