The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Saturday secured five-day custody of a person arrested on the charge of his alleged involvement in a transnational conspiracy by the Myanmar-based leadership of terror outfits to wage a war against the Indian government by exploiting the current ethnic unrest in Manipur.
The accused, identified as Moirangthem Anand Singh, has been booked in a case registered suo motu by the NIA on July 19. The agency alleged that Myanmar-based leaders of insurgent groups and the proscribed terrorist organisations were recruiting Over Ground Workers (OGWs), cadre and sympathisers to augment the strength for carrying out attacks on security forces and opponent ethnic groups.
