Dimapur, June 09: In a development that could throw up far reaching impact in the prevailing volatile situation of Nagaland, the IRB personnel have reportedly snatched away an AK-56 rifle, one M-22, two pistols and money from a team of NSCN-Unification after physically assaulting two 'kilonsers' (ministers) and their bodyguards of the NSCN-U in Nagaland's Tuensang district on Saturday.

According to the NSCN-U, the outfit's 'kilonser' Yimto and 'kilonser' Sambai alongwith their bodyguards were first arrested and then beaten up with rifle butts "without rhyme or reason" on Saturday evening by IRB personnel deployed in Teitong Nallah between Tuensang and Tobu sub-division.

While condemning strongly on the incident, the NSCN-U said that the outfit's two 'kilonsers', their body guards and drivers and also Chang Khulie Sethsang (CKS) members were first arrested before they were being assaulted severely with rifles butts.

The CKS members were reportedly the team of NSCN-U team on Saturday since the area falls within the jurisdiction of the Chang region.

Meanwhile, NSCN-U prominent leader Y Wangtin said that the "GPRN/NSCN" authority in a meeting, has resolved to take up drastic steps against the commanders of the IRB team involved in the Saturday incident.

Y Wangtin said that in the event of any follow up action against the IRB involved in the Saturday incident, the outfit should not be misunderstood by anyone or group as "the Naga nation cannot bow down before the erring jawans".
