Lamka, March 26 2014:
One of the arm wings of KNO, the ZRF today issued six point clarifications regarding the news report on the arrest of its commander on Sunday while maintaining that it strictly adhered to the SoO ground rules.
The statement said that Songlianlal Hangshing is the C-in-C of KNO/ZRF but Kamsuanlian Mantuang alias Michael Ginlalsiam Phiamphu alias Zonathan and Mawirosanga Guite were not in the list of cadres approved by the Government.
It said that Michael is the Home Secretary of KNO/ZDV, and the seized weapon which was falsely reported to be used for kidnapping and extortion belongs to Michael and has nothing to do with ZNO/ZRF.
It also condemned the recent kidnapping of Neelamani Sharma by some UG outfit from Hmuia Veng.
The KNO/ZRF also alleged that the 10 signed demand-letters recovered by the security did not bear the signature of ZRF/C-in-C nor Director Finance.
It was withheld by the C-in-C as they were arranged by a cadre who is not aware of the SoO ground rules, it added.
Besides, the entire allegations made against the KNO/ZRF are totally baseless concocted and without foundation aimed only to tarnish the image of ZRF and the KNO, it said.
