A cadre of banned militant outfit-National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Khaplang (NSCN-K) has surrendered before the Lazu Police and Assam Rifles in Arunachal Pradesh.

The surrendered cadre has been identified as -Self Styled Lieutenant Wanghong Nokpa, a resident of Lazu in Tirap district.

He surrendered with a 9 mm pistol and 3 rounds ammunition to shun away from the path of violence and return to the mainstream to lead a normal life.

He said that he was a victim of mental torture by other militants and was never paid any stipend at camp, so he fled from CHQ, Lahong via Ngaimong vill of Myanmar and appeared before Lazu police station for surrender to take care of his family.

Wanghong Nokpa along with 18 others were forcefully taken by a member of the outfit-Kewang Diotsa for induction into their outfit in 1999, said Nokpa during interogation.
