The NIA has filed the chargesheet before a special court in Imphal against six rebels belonging to People’s Liberation Army (PLA) and Manipur Naga People’s Front (MNPF).

The accused militants identified as Koijam Ibochouba, Mayanglambam Siromani, Thokchom Ningthemba, Laishram Priyokumar Meitei, Thangjam Achou and Chandam Tondon Singh – have been charged under various sections of the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA).
