Imphal, July 24 2014: In a major breakthrough, a team of personnel from Dimapur East Police Station reportedly arrested two vehicle thieves identified as Ghutoka Zhimo and Inaka Achumi and recovered seven vehicle number plates and two vehicles, a Tata Pick-Up and a Bolero from the house of one Levi a.k.a Asu Tangkhul, who is a Brigadier of NSCN (IM) at Padumpukhuri 'B' .

According to a report published in Morung Express, the number plate of Bolero vehicle, NL-07- 9600, belonging to Aketo Zhimo, Chairman of Dr.Haralu Colony and Executive Member of Dimapur Urban Colony Council Chairmen Federation (DUCCCF) was also recovered from the said house.

The report, however, did not mention when the seizure was made.

DUCCCF has expressed shock that "the house of a senior figure from the NPG could be used as a place to keep stolen vehicles and most probably for modifying and tampering before re-sell of these vehicles " .

DUCCCF has asked the higher ups of NSCN (IM) to clarify on the matter "since the residence of its senior functionary has been used to engage in anti-social activities" .

It also urged the NSCN (IM) not to hamper Dimapur Police and allow it to interrogate Brig.

Levi Tangkhul as part of its investigation to unearth the racket.

"In case the DUCCCF is convinced that the case is not proceeding as per the law, or hindrance is being created, DUCCCF would be forced to take matters into its own hands and it'll not hesitate to treat this as law and order problem irrespective of Brig.

Levi Tangkhul's involvement in the case," it warned.
