DIMAPUR, Aug 4: The Nagaland government took cognizance of the death threats and capital punishment issued to K Rűlho, proprietor of M/s KKB Rűlho, by the NSCN (Khango).
Informing this in a release on Saturday, state government spokesperson and minister for power and parliamentary affairs KG Kenye said an FIR was promptly registered against the NSCN (Khango) and its functionaries under appropriate sections of law for this crime. He said the state government had previously made clear in response to the shutterdown initiated by the business community of Nagaland in April 2024 that any acts of threat or coercion, whether by underground factions in ceasefire or otherwise, are criminal offenses and will be dealt with according to the law.
