DIMAPUR, JULY 29: Accusing the UNLF (Pambei) group of attacking a young Naga woman and six others on July 26 in Imphal, the NSCN-IM has asked the former to “keep a tight rein” on its cadres within the group if at all justice is to be done.
In a statement issued to Newmai News Network today, the NSCN-IM said, “It is very unfortunate and shocking to learn of the incident that took place on the night of July 26, 2024 at The Ocean Lounge, Khuman Lampak, Imphal, where a young Naga lady along with her six friends were physically assaulted with arms by some members belonging to UNLF(Pambei) group, Imphal valley based organization”.
The NSCN-IM also said the way the “unruly members” of UNLF (Pambei) attacked a young
Naga lady who was verbally abused, mishandled and followed by physical molestation and even brandishing fire arms and beating up severely to the other six friends who came to rescue her is highly condemnable”.
