By Correspondent

ITANAGAR, Dec 1 - Delivering a major blow to the NSCN (R), the Assam Rifles apprehended an area commander of the outfit and two others from a village in Changlang district on Thursday.

With underground groups� unlawful activities including extortion plaguing the locals in Changlang and Tirap districts, the security forces, acting on a specific input, achieved the major breakthrough in the wee hours today. They apprehended Town Commander of Khonsa, self-styled Capt Eli Ketok, SS 2nd Lt Wingjun Jugli and an overground worker, Junghap Jugli from Lunglong village and recovered two pistols, three magazines and 18 live rounds alongwith an extortion register documenting their misdeeds, from their possession.

The two senior cadres have been the kingpins of commercial insurgency scavenging on the hard earned money of the locals in Tirap and Changlang districts by unabated, forceful and ruthless extortion, stated an Assam Rifles spokesperson.

Eli Ketok has charges pressed against him at Khonsa and Kanubari police stations. Both the cadres were later handed over to Changlang police station.
