NC Hills leaders face charges of having links with militants

Guwahati, May 22 : In Assam, the controversy surrounding allegations of politician-militant nexus in violence-hit North Cachar Hills district took a new turn with the State Government today claiming of having ’strong evidence’ to indict at least three top leaders of ruling Autonomous Hill Council. BJP and Autonomous State Demand Committee (ASDC) coalition is ruling the N.C.Hills Autonomous District Council.

Assam Government spokesperson and Health Minister Dr Himanta Biswa Sharma told newsmen in Guwahati that the Government is keeping a close vigil on the North Cachar Hills leaders and police have been instructed to create a case against them based on the available evidence.

The leaders, who face charges of maintaining links with militants, include chief executive member Deepolal Hojai and two members of the Council– Prakanta Warisa and Mohet Hojai. Dr. Sharma said the State Government is ready for any judicial or a CBI probe in addition to regular police proceedings, to expose politician-militant nexus in NC Hills.
