Dimapur, July 25 2014 : The NSCN-IM has been concertedly investigating the murder of Ngalangzar Malue, the 60 years old member of Autonomous District Council (ADC) killed on July 12 in the Imphal-Ukhrul road.

This was disclosed by NSCN-IM Cease Fire Monitoring Cell (CFMC) convenor Kraibo Chawang while addressing a press conference at his office here in Dimapur on Wednesday.

Former vice chairman of ADC, Ukhrul district and sitting member of the Council Ngalangzar Malue, 60 years, was killed in an ambush along Imphal-Ukhrul road on July 12 by suspected militants.

The Manipur Government, based on intelligence reports, has held NSCN-IM responsible for the ambush but the Naga outfit has washed off its hand in the incident.

The following day, hundreds of Manipur security force personnel swoop down at the regional office of Wung Tangkhul Region (WTR) of NSCN-IM in Ukhrul town in a pre-dawn raid, picked up 8 cadres of NSCN-IM and seized the available weapons from the office.

Section 144 of the CrPC has been clamped since then.

"It is a baseless accusation from certain quarters pointing finger at us," stated Kraibo Chawang, and added that NSCN-IM will thoroughly investigate who could have been behind the killing of the ADC member.

The NSCN-IM leader also said that there were numerous blasts in Ukhrul districts prior to the July 12 incident.
