Arunachal: 2 NSCN (K) militants escapes from Khonsa jail, one constable killed, one injured

Guwahati: Two militants of the National Socialist Council of Nagaland (Khaplang) NSCN-K escaped from the Khonsa jail in Arunachal Pradesh’s Tirap district.

 Two police constables were critically injured in a scuffle with the militants as they tried to prevent the miltants from escaping, sources said. One of the two injured constables identified as Wangnyien Bosai died on the way to the Assam Medical College and Hospital (AMCH), Dibrugarh.

 The condition of the other injured constable is said to be critical.

According to sources the two NSCN (K) militants identified as self-styled privates Rocksen Homchha and Tipu Kitnya had a violent scuffle with the two constables who were on guard at that time at the jail premises. The two militants also reportedly snatched the service weapons of the two prison guards after overpowering them and escaped from the scene.

 A massive manhunt has been launched by the Tirap police to nab the two escaped militants. The Assam Rifles and CRPF are also aiding in the manhunt.

“We have launched a massive search operation in the villages where they can hide. We have taken assistance from Assam Rifles and CRPF in this matter. We have beefed up security in the jail as well as in the border areas,” said a police official.

On July 2021, seven seven undertrial prisoners managed to escape from a district jail in Arunachal Pradesh by attacking security guards with chilli and pepper. The incident occurred at East Siang district jail located in Pasighat.
