The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Friday arrested Yangte Josaham, a self-styled Lieutenant of National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN-IM), in connection with the murder of a lawmaker Tirong Aboh and ten others.
The law enforcement agency arrested the 45-year-old from Nagaland's Dimapur district in a joint operation with a local Military Intelligence (MI) unit.
Josaham killed Aboh and ten others on May 21, earlier this year, said a statement issued by the agency.
According to the agency, a case was registered against the accused under Section 302 (murder), 307 (attempt to murder) of the Indian Penal Code and relevant sections under Arms Act and Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.
