A self-styled commander-in-chief of banned Manipuri outfit Kangleipak Communist Party (MC) was arrested from Bangalore by a Delhi Police team, police said on Tuesday (May 10). Nangthanbam Anand alias Malengamba (36) was apprehended from Bangalore on May five following investigations into the seizure of 200 kg ephedirine worth Rs two crore from an alleged KCP (MC) militant on April one.
A laptop, seven mobile phones, pen drives, internet broadband connection and documents, threat e-mails and extortion letters related to KCP (MC) have been recovered. The accused was brought to Delhi and is in police custody till May 13. After the arrest of Napolean, Delhi Police had claimed that the militants from the north-eastern region have started indulging in drug trade to cough up money for their activities besides extorting money from government officials and contractors.
Anand studied up to Class IV and was unemployed. In 2002, he was arrested in a criminal case and thus met with one Thockchom Nando, who motivated him to join his outfit KCP (Tabungba) Group. The outfit was involved in extortion and killing innocent people. Subsequently in 2009, Nando met him in the jail again and directed him to raise another faction in the name of KCP (Malengamba). He was also nominated as Commander-in-Chief of the outfit. "He extended threats to various political leaders, government officials and MNC executives in order to get protection money.
Nando had also nominated Anand as the Public Secretary of the outfit to give press note on behalf of the outfit. He also allegedly used to write on the letter pad of KCP for seeking financial contribution from various business houses, individuals and officials. "He also invested his share of extortion money in drugs trade in order to extract more profit. He was in touch with Napolean and Robindro as an associate in their drugs trade," Kampani said.
