Imphal, June 08, 2013:
NSCN (IM) cadres have beaten up and snatched away a pistol from three cadres of SoO signatory group KNO/KNA at Mahadeva junction of Ukhrul district at around noon today.
KNO/KNA Sinai Camp Commander CL Kuki told The Sangai Express that three of their cadres armed with a pistol were sent to the area on getting information of extortion activities.
However, NSCN (IM) cadres who came in a Tata Winger and a Bolero jeep overpowered the KNO/KNA cadres and snatched the pistol after beating them up severely, he added.
The NSCN (IM) cadres also tried to take away the KNO/KNA cadres with them, CL Kuki said and added that their effort was however foiled by women vendors.
Taking serious note of the incident, CL Kuki asked the NSCN (IM) to hand over the snatched away pistol by coming Sunday.
KNO/KNA would not remain silent if the Naga outfit fails to respond positively, he added.
