The spokesperson of the Nagaland Government and Minister for Power & Parliamentary Affairs, KG Kenye, stated in a press release that the State Government has taken notice of the death threats and capital punishment issued to K Rûlho, proprietor of M/S KKB Rûlho, by NSCN (Khango).
He informed that an FIR was promptly registered against the NSCN (Khango) and its functionaries under appropriate sections of law for this crime. He said that the State Government had previously made clear, in response to the “shutter-down” initiated by the business community of Nagaland in April 2024, that any acts of threat or coercion, whether by factions in ceasefire or otherwise, are criminal offenses and will be dealt with according to the law.
“The State Government reiterates this stance and will ensure peace and tranquility in Nagaland, which are essential for economic development and prosperity,” he added.
Kenye further stated that the State Government has also taken up the matter with the Chairman of the Ceasefire Monitoring Group/Ceasefire Supervisory Board to ensure that the NSCN (Khango) faction and other groups adhere strictly to the ground rules of the ceasefire.
