Imphal, February 23 2014 :
The proscribed RPF/PLA has clarified that Wahengbam Paikhomba alias Naoba alias Akajao alias Aadei (25) s/o W Pahari of Kumbi Thingel who was reportedly arrested by a combined team of Thoubal commandos and 18th Sikh Regiment was dismissed from the party on September 2, 2013 .
A press release issued by the outfit's department of publicity chief Bangkim said that Paikhomba was repeatedly chastised for indiscipline.
Even as he was given due time to correct himself, Paikhomba could not correct his wayward conduct and he was ultimately dismissed.
However, he did not take away any weapon when he left the party.
As such, RPF/PLA has nothing to do with the pistol and two live rounds reportedly seized from Paikhomba's possession.
