Accused links Vussheto fake-currency case

Staff ReporterDIMAPUR, SEP 12 (NPN)

The woman arrested in connection with an alleged fake-currency racket has accused NSCN/GPRN-K (Khango-Vusshe) ato kilonser Hukato Vusshe of financing and facilitating the operation.
Speaking to reporters on Friday night, the accused admitted her role and alleged Hokato Vusshe was the “prime financier.”
She claimed Vusshe provided Rs. 5 lakh in cash along with chemicals, a laptop and printers, assuring her that “no one could touch her” under his protection. She also named kilo kilonser Kiniho, questioning his public denial of knowing her despite their earlier interaction.
The woman said she was initially picked up by the Isak Sumi-led faction on August 28 and released three days later after agreeing to help trace other suspects involved. When unable to do so, she claimed to have sought Vusshe’s help and also admitted to have received another Rs. 56,000 for procuring printing supplies/materials.
The arrested woman disclosed that counterfeiting began at Vusshe’s farmhouse, where about Rs. 11 lakh worth of fake notes were produced, before the operation shifted to his Thilixu residence due to power issues. She alleged that Rs. 10 lakh in fake notes were printed in total, of which Rs. 8.3 lakh were fit for circulation. She added that she had learned the techniques online.
It was learnt that the accused later surrendered to police after addressing the media.
