Three alleged hardcore cadres of Khaplang-led Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN-K), including a top finance official of the militant outfit, were held today in Dimapur district.
Assam Rifles personnel in Dimapur apprehended Max Asukomi, finance secretary of NSCN(K), along with two other cadres -- Asheto Rochelle and Isato Aye -- in separate operations, an Assam Rifles official said here.
All three are residents of Zunheboto district but were staying in Dimapur for carrying out extortion activities of NSCN(K), the official said.
The arrest of these cadres, especially Asukomi, will be a major setback to the financial operations of NSCN(K) in Dimapur and adjoining areas, he added.
