Guwahati, Oct 18 : A militant was killed in a factional clash between two groups of NSCN in Nagaland’s Peren district.
The firing between NSCN-K (Niki Sumi group) and NSCN-Unification took place near Khehoi camp area in Peren district on Sunday night.
The deceased militant was identified as Atoka. He worked as an additional secretary of NSCN-K.
A Kohima-based official said that NSCN-U militants had allegedly abducted some cadres of NSCN-K. He added that the clash took place in the area when the deceased along with three other members of NSCN-K were on their way to pick up the abducted colleagues.
In December 2020, the NSCN-K, led by dreaded militant Niki Sumi, had announced a ceasefire and the Centre on September 8 this year entered into a ceasefire agreement with the group for a period of one year.
