Dimapur, Sep. 15 (EMN): The ACAUT Nagaland has condemned what it stated was a ‘bogus syndicate group by the name anti corruption and crime investigation front (ACCIF)’ based at Purana Bazaar, Dimapur.
A press release from ACAUT on Friday informed that two persons representing ACCIF were arrested by Dimapur police recently. “ACCIF have (sic) been harassing the business community in the East Dimapur area jurisdiction by demanding tax and donation and in some instances they have even threatened the business owners.
“The audacity of these people to go to any length to make money is just dumbfounding especially when the whole of Nagaland populace is fed up with the menace of illegal taxation. In this connection two persons were nabbed by the Dimapur police,” it informed.
ACAUT identified the arrested persons as: Longritemjen, ‘vice chairman of ACCIF and member of Purana Bazaar village council’; and Pradeep Sethi, ‘advisor of ACCIF.’
“The ACAUT Nagaland would like to congratulate the Dimapur Police in nabbing the kingpins of these bogus group and further appeals to the police to nab the rest of the members of this crime syndicate group and all those involved at the earliest. ACAUT Nagaland also appeals to the court to award the most stringent punishment as per the law.”
