PREPAK (Pro) said on Monday that the outfit has nothing to do with Langamba and Mutum Dinesh alias Ibungo of Yairipok Yambem who were arrested by police on extortion charges.
They are not members of this outfit.
A statement signed by the outfit's senior publicity officer Melei accused some police and VDF personnel of being extortionists themselves using names of underground organizations.
It claimed there are slew of nascent gangs engaging in shakedowns in the masquerade of being members of other established groups.
PREPAK (Pro) said that when differences emerge among these gangs while indulging in such activities, they turn against each other and even try to eliminate those who mess up the entire bunch of hooligans.
The statement expressed astonishment over the "involvement" of police officials in contract and supply works and even in the thriving business of betel leaves in the State.
It demanded the intervention in the matter on time and check such activities by the authorities.
