NSCN (I-M) has accused the Superintendent of Police (SP) Ukhrul, Kartik, of working in collusion with the Kuki militants.
NSCN (I-M) through its MIP claimed that the SP was found in the indefensible act “in what could be the final blow to the long held allegations of the Kuki militants being tacitly supported by the security agencies of the government of India”.
MIP said the incident took place on December 18, 2024, when SP loaded two shaktiman trucks and two pick-up mini trucks with rice and tin sheets. However, MIP said it was found that the “bigger volume of the load” was hidden underneath the rice and tin sheets without disclosing the concealed items. MIP claimed that the SP ordered policemen to take the consignment to Molhang Kuki village and instructed them that the items was for CRPF.
However, it stated that when four vehicles reached Molhang Kuki village, instead of CRPF, around 200 Kuki militants were found waiting. It claimed that Kuki militants hurriedly unloaded the items without letting the policemen know. MIP alleged that policemen “just stood there dumbstruck” when four trucks were already unloaded and emptied.
MIP said it was now “an established fact” that the central government was sustaining the Kuki militants providing them materials and logistics support. It alleged that the Central government “significantly” channelled millions of rupees for Kuki militants in the past. “Though this incident is shocking, it is clear beyond any iota of doubt that this is just the tip of the iceberg,” MIP stated.
