Unconfirmed reports emerging from Wokha town late Friday
night have said that an unspecified number of public members apprehended two
underground activists when the latter were engaged in extortion at a place
called Satsupen, near Longsa village in Wokha on Friday.
Sources from Wokha quoted community leaders: four underground activists–factions unspecified–were reportedly collecting “tax” following which agitators apprehended two while the other two escaped, the source said.
Thereafter an office of the “IM” was ransacked during which agitators emptied it of its files and documents. They were then burnt at the Wokha Police Point, the source said. The incident is said to have happened around afternoon. The apprehended persons were said to have been ‘beaten until the police came and took them to the jail.’
Also, it was informed that the agitators had demanded the two be handed over to the public. Neither the police nor the administration could be reached for confirmation at the time of filing this news report.
