New Delhi:
A leader of a banned Manipuri militant
group has been arrested in the national capital, Delhi Police said
Friday.
Ningthoujam Romen Singh alias Nongdrenkhomba, 27, a member of the
outlawed Kangleipak Communist Party (KCP), was wanted to stand
trial in many criminal cases, police said.
He was arrested from the Inter-State Bus Terminus at Sarai Kale
Khan Thursday.
On the request of Manipur Police, Nongdrenkhomba was arrested for
his role in cases of murder, abduction and extortion, said Special
Commissioner of Police S.N. Srivastava.
The rebel was the KCP's finance secretary and commander-in-chief,
he said.
Srivastava said Nongdrenkhomba's arrest led to the rescue of two
abducted government officials working at Takmu Water Sports
project in Manipur.
Budhi Chandra and Ningthembi were abducted by KCP members for a
ransom of Rs.2 crore, said Srivastava.
He said Nongdrenkhomba was also in touch with commanders of other
banned outfits, including United Revolutionary Front (URF).
During interrogation, the rebel said he joined the KCP with his
brother-in-law in 2007 as an over-ground worker, the police
officer said.
Nongdrenkhomba was earlier arrested in 2008 in Meghalaya but was
released on bail after two months.
"In 2011, he shifted to Nepal for some months. In December, he
went to Goa and in May-June, he shifted base in Agra and was
handling kidnappings, attacks and threats to government officials
and others from there," Srivastava said.
The main objective of KCP, founded way back in 1980, was to
restore the independence of the erstwhile Manipur kingdom and to
bring about an egalitarian society, strengthen working class and
revive the indigenous culture.
The KCP maintained operational linkages with the National
Socialist Council of Nagaland-Khaplang (NSCN-K) and the United
Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA). It was banned in 2006.
