NIA uncovers Manipur militant group's real estate investments
The Telegraph | Darjeeling, Aug. 4:
The National Investigation Agency has found out that the banned Manipur-based terrorist organisation, Kanglei Yaol Kaba Lup, has been using residents of Darjeeling and Sikkim to set up bases in the region. The NIA took up the probe following the arrest of many KYKL members from the region in 2010.
Sources involved in the investigation said the outfit had set up bases in Kurseong, Khaprail and even in Sikkim. “The members of the organisation used to send money from Manipur to their counterparts who had set up a base in the region for investment in real estate.
Some KYKL members in the region had also been picked up by the NIA. “The self-styled army commander-in-chief and finance-in-charge of the outfit, Ningthoujam Tomba, along with Sonokhybam Memcha, Roma Chanu, Sorokhaibhem Menjor Singh and Kangunjam Rabi Kumar Singh, had been arrested from from Khaprail, Siliguri and other places since March 2010,” the source added.
“During the investigation, it has also been established that Chirom Robert Meitei, Kongkham Tomba Singh, Asem Naoba Singh, Ch. Leishemba, along with the arrested man Ningthoujam Tomba, had entered into a criminal conspiracy to wage war against the state,” the source added.
The NIA says the KYKL has been declared a terrorist organisation under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act 1967.
