The Zeliangrong United Front (ZUF) has charged NSCN (IM) of killing its cadre lance corporal Pouluanthai Gangmei of Reangpang Village, Noney district on January 12.According to a ZUF release, Pouluanthai was tortured to death and his body thrown at a site frequented by public.
"The cadre had been on leave for medical treatment and he was confident that he would be safe to go free as he had been relieved from the fold on medical ground.

The ZUF/ZTF expresses such act as utter cowardice and unbecoming of Naga Army to behave cowardly," it added.
