Tirap: Tirap district has witnessed crucial advancements in the ongoing operations against the NSCN(K) / Nikki faction, bringing about significant changes in the security landscape. The detailed events that have unfolded:
Apprehension of NSCN(K) Commander SS Pt Teton Lokhow
In a well-coordinated and successful joint operation conducted on August 9, Tirap Police and the 6th Assam Rifles managed to capture the elusive NSCN(K) commander, SS Pt Teton Lokhow. This operation, marked by careful planning and precise execution, resulted in his arrest. SS Pt Teton Lokhow was found to be actively engaged in orchestrating extortion calls and text messages directed towards influential individuals within the TCL region. The case involving his activities is currently undergoing a thorough investigation to uncover the full extent of his involvement.
Elimination of NSCN(K) Leader SS Arunachal Secretary Wangkhai Wangsa
In a subsequent development, security forces embarked on a mission to apprehend the associates of SS Pt Teton Lokhow on August 10. This operation led to a confrontation in the dense forest terrain. Tragically, the encounter resulted in the demise of NSCN(K) leader SS Arunachal Secretary Wangkhai Wangsa. The security forces were compelled to take retaliatory action as a defensive measure. Upon securing the site, authorities were able to recover a pistol and a cache of ammunition, underscoring the gravity of the situation.
Establishment of Connections
Through meticulous investigative efforts, it has become evident that both SS Pt Teton Lokhow and SS Arunachal Secretary Wangkhai Wangsa were closely associated with NSCN(K) / Nikki SS Arunachal Chairman Loliam Latey, known by the alias Athing Nocte. These findings reinforce the intricate web of connections that the security forces have been diligently working to untangle.
These developments represent a significant breakthrough for the security forces operating within the Tirap district. The successful capture of SS Pt Teton Lokhow and the elimination of SS Arunachal Secretary Wangkhai Wangsa underscore the commitment and determination of the joint operation to maintain peace and security in the region. The investigations are ongoing, and further details are expected to shed light on the larger network and activities of the NSCN(K) / Nikki faction in the area.
