In a significant development, multiple reports say that a high-profile weapon smuggler in Myanmar, who was one of the most wanted man on India’s National Investigation Agency’s list, has been eliminated by PDF. This individual, known for his involvement in weapon smuggling for the National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN-IM), had been a key figure in illicit arms trade, particularly sourcing weapons from China.
The individual in question had amassed notoriety for his role as a prominent weapon smuggler for NSCN (IM), an insurgent group operating in the northeastern regions of India. His activities posed a significant threat to national security, prompting law enforcement agencies to place a substantial bounty of Rs 2 lakhs on his head. He was once arrested along the UP-Bihar region for smuggling weapons.
Reports indicate that just last month, tensions escalated when NSCN (IM) openly opposed decisions made by Indian Home Minister Amit Shah regarding the fencing of borders. The deceased individual’s demise, however, has left many questions unanswered, with the circumstances surrounding his death shrouded in mystery.
While NSCN (IM) has issued statements insinuating the involvement of the Assam Rifles in his killing, conflicting reports have emerged suggesting that he met his end within a military camp in AungZayYa. Some reports say that he was killed by PDF, People’s defence Force, Myanmar. The conflicting narratives add layers of intrigue to an already complex situation, highlighting the intricate web of conflicts and interests in the region.
The elimination of this notorious figure marks a significant victory for NIA and underscores the relentless efforts of law enforcement agencies to combat organized crime and insurgency. However, it also serves as a stark reminder of the persistent challenges posed by insurgency and cross-border criminal activities, which continue to threaten stability and security in the region.
