NEW DELHI: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Saturday arrested one Seiminlun Gangte in a case related to a transnational conspiracy by Myanmar and Bangladesh-based leadership of terror outfits to wage war against the Government of India by exploiting the current ethnic unrest in the State of Manipur.
The case was registered suo moto by the NIA on 19.07.2023 at New Delhi.
Investigation of the case has revealed that Myanmar and Bangladesh-based militant groups have entered into a conspiracy with a section of militant leaders in India to indulge in incidents of violence with an intention to drive a wedge between different ethnic groups and to wage war against the Government of India. For this purpose, the aforementioned leadership have been providing funds to procure arms, ammunition and other types of terrorist hardware which are being sourced both, from across the border, as well as from other terrorist outfits active in northeastern states of India, to stoke the current ethnic strife in Manipur, said NIA.
The arrested accused, Gangte, has been brought to New Delhi and will be produced before the jurisdictional court, as per an NIA spokesperson.
A few days back on September 23, 2022, another accused in the case, Moirangthem Anand Singh, was arrested by NIA. Earlier, Manipur Police had arrested him and four others while they were allegedly travelling in a vehicle in police camouflage, and carrying sophisticated arms and ammunition. The police alleged Singh was working as an overground worker of People’s Liberation Army, an outlawed Manipuri insurgent outfit, and had gone basic military training in Chandel.
While Singh along with his four aides got bail later, the former was rearrested by NIA on September 23.
