NSCN (IM) clarifies on Arunachal Pradesh ambush

Dimapur, Oct. 22 (EMN): The National Socialist Council of Nagalim (NSCN-IM) has clarified that it has nothing to do with the Arunachal Pradesh ambush incident that took place near Sanliam village in Tirap district.

“It is unfortunate that the media people simply gave report based on their own wild conjecture, blaming the NSCN. Such an unhealthy practice by the media to connect NSCN to the incident where one Assam Rifles jawan died is highly dismissive,” it stated.

According to reports, an Assam Rifles personnel was killed and another sustained injuries in an ambush at Tirap district on Wednesday morning. It was reported that the 6th Assam Rifles team was ambushed when they were returning from patrolling duty on the Indo-Myanmar border.
