The Delhi Police Special Cell claimed to have arrested a militant from Nagaland who is a self-styled Health Minister-cum-political adviser of Southern Nagaland of NSCN (Khaplang) and Government of Peoples Republic of Nagaland (GPRN) near India Habitat Centre in south Delhi. The alleged militant identified as Ngamsinlung Panmei was staying in west Delhi from July 1, according to police. Five mobile phones with seven sim cards and one laptop used for communicating with members of NSCN (K) were recovered from his possession, said police.
NSCN (K) claims to have its so called Government in Nagaland in the name of Government of Peoples Republic of Nagaland (GPRN) and is headed by its self-styled President SS Khaplang. N Panmei was motivated by Zelulie, an NSCN (K) militant to join this terrorist outfit in the year 1997.
Deputy Commissioner of Police Rajiv Ranjan said N Panmei was assigned the task of collection of military intelligence in Zeliangrong area. He got many cadres of rival faction NSCN (Issac Muivah) arrested by police to decimate them as per directions of his senior cadres. N Panmei grew very close to SS Khaplang, who is presently in Myanmar. N Panmei met SS Khaplang for the first time in the year 1998 in Chumna in Myanmar through Zelulie. Khaplang was impressed by his performance and he was assigned specific task to raise funds and to do cadre recruitment by motivating and brain washing gullible youths.
