Jiribam, June 03:
At least four hard-core officers of NSCN (IM) have defected to NSCN (K) Zeliangrong region from Camp Hebron, Dimapur.
The four officers who have changed sides have been identified as 2nd Lt Akishe of Jalukie, Peren district (Nagaland), Sgt Maj Tukam of North Cachar Hills (Assam), Sgt Injang of Donke village, Peren district and Cpl Alex of NC Hills.
They also brought one sniper rifle with three magazines, one AK 56 rifle with one magazine, one SLR with two magazines and two .303 rifles with two magazines.
Speaking to this correspondent, the four former NSCN (IM) men said that they defected to the NSCN (K) realising the futility of the IM group which has been allegedly working at the behest of a few persons with vested interest.
They further stated that have now joined the mainstream outfit.
