Dimapur, November 19 (MExN): The NSCN (IM) today termed as “disheartening” that “anti-social elements” are still ‘on the prowl’ in Dimapur, looking for soft targets. “In recent period, Dimapur has earned the notoriety of being the hotbed of crime, particularly kidnapping of businessmen for extracting heavy amount of ransom” the outfit said in a note from its ‘MIP’. It alleged that today at around 6 AM, a ‘customer’ of one Mayur Hotel in Dimapur was kidnapped “by some miscreants”. Claiming that “such dirty incident” has “again” played into the “moral conscious” of the outfit, the MIP note expressed condemnation of such “social nuisance” that has not “stopped playing hell to the security of the businessmen or any civilian”. Demanding that the ‘culprits’ should not go scot free, the outfit asserted that “we want to see that the confidence of the people in Dimapur or anyone who comes to Dimapur is not shattered”. Demanding serious action by the state police and intelligence agencies, the NSCN (IM) assured, that whether the crime was by an organized gang or any underground group, “the day of reckoning has to be set and NSCN shall be a witness on how this is handled”. “In the eye of NSCN, enough of kidnapping is seen in Dimapur and ‘enough is enough’” it added.
