NIA files chargesheet against 3 rebels

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Thursday filed a chargesheet against three workers of proscribed Manipur's Kangeleipak Communist Party (KCP).

According to an NIA statement, the workers were involved in "hatching conspiracy" and raising funds by terrorising local people and bodies such as schools, panchayats, government officials and owners of petrol pumps.

The chargesheet has been filed under various sections of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967.

Among the arrested is KCP's self-styled commander-in-chief Laishram Ranjit Singh Meitei.

The three were arrested in October last year.
