The non-SoO Kuki militant outfit, the Kuki National Front (Nehlun) group expressed strong disapproval over the claims made by Assam Rifles to have apprehended a wanted KNF-N cadre on March 27 involved in B Gamnom killing.
The Assam Rifles had stated that in its breakthrough, its Jwalamukhi Battalion of Headquarters 22 Sector under the aegis of Headquarter IGAR (E) apprehended a wanted KNF-N cadre involved in the infamous B Gamnom killing on October 12, 2021.
The arrest was made from a workshop in NH-2 near Kholep village in Kangpokpi district in a joint operation with police on March 26, as per the AR.

The outfit's information and publicity secretary, Gou Kuki said that the apprehended individual Satkithang alias Ranjit had been alienated from the outfit in 2018, owing to his misconduct apart from his differently able condition.
He continued that tagging Satkithang as a wanted militant involved in B Gamnom's killing by security forces was baseless and false as he has nothing to do with the outfit after he was expelled in 2018.
While clarifying the allegation, the outfit appealed to the government machinery, especially, the security forces, “to stop harassing such individuals who have already led a normal life and avoid dubbing them wrongfully to spoil their life in the future.”
