Members of the armed Zeliangrong United Front (ZUF)-Jenchui group reportedly apprehended 4 ex-cadres of ZUF Raitu-Kamson Group, who had defected to NSCN (U), for carrying out extortion activities in various places of Noney district.
The four people have been identified as Major Alur, lieutenant Dingtiplung, second lieutenant Daonahtuingam and Private Luk Rongmei.
After leaving the ZUF Raitu-Kamson group, all four had joined NSCN (U).
Two AK 47 rifles and several rounds of live bullets were also seized from them.
According to a report, ZUF (Jenchui) had previously issued a notice restricting any form of extortions in Noney district and to passenger vehicles plying along National Highway-37 and also in other areas.
However, the four ZUF members after leaving the Raitu-Kamson group joined the NSCN faction and as such, ZUF (Jen chui) apprehended the quartet from Dolang village with the weapons on Saturday, after receiving information that some cadres of Raitu-Kamson were extorting from people in Noney district.
