Police arrested the chief arms procurer of the Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA), an official said on June 20, Nagaland Post reports. Jackuish A. Sangma was arrested in the night of June 19 from Tura, the District headquarters of West Garo Hills when he was handing out an extortion note to a businessman, the Police official said. A foreign-made revolver along with six rounds of live ammunition, four GNLA extortion notes and seals were seized from Jackuish’s possession. “He (Jackuish) has been under our (police) scanner for several months after being released on bail from Shillong district jail for his involvement in procurement of arms and ammunition for the GNLA,” Mukesh Kumar Singh, District Police chief of West Garo Hills said. Singh said Jackuish procured arms and ammunition from suppliers based in Dimapur, a town of Nagaland, bordering Assam.

The Police have registered a case against him based on the confession of some arrested GNLA rebels, Singh said. Police have booked Jackuish under various sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), Arms Act and Unlawful Activities Prevention Act.

The Shillong Times reports that Director General (DG) of Border Security Force (BSF), U.K. Bansal, on June 22 asserted that Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA) ‘chairman’ Champion Sangma has been arrested and is currently jailed in Bangladesh. Bansal’s statement has confirmed reports appeared earlier that the militant chief is finally in the custody of the authorities. When asked for details about the arrest, the BSF official refused to comment further even though he said: “I am saying he is in jail from a long time now.” He said that the GNLA chief has to complete his sentence in Bangladesh before his extradition to India. Since his reported arrest in Bangladesh on November 2011, the GNLA ‘chairman’ is said to have been out of touch with the ‘commander-in-chief’ of the outfit, Sohan D Shira. However, the Meghalaya Police have so far maintained a stoic silence on the GNLA chairman’s arrest in Bangladesh. According to Bansal, both the BSF and Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) are working closely to ensure that there is no cross-border movement along the Indo-Bangladesh border. The BSF official also made it clear that militant activities in the State are under control since the State is going to elections next year (2013). When asked about the anti-India insurgency camps that are operating on Bangladeshi soil, Bansal stated that these are intelligent reports which are sometimes reliable but are not verified reports.

The Shillong Times reports on June 27 that two persons identified as Jibon Paul (40) and Jongsil M Sangma (26) from Dalu were arrested by West Garo Hills Police on June 23 for having close links with the Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA).

The Telegraph reports that suspected Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA) militants abducted a State Bank of India (SBI) cashier from East Garo Hills District on June 23. The armed militants abducted Abdul Halim Ali who works in the SBI’s Songsak branch around 2 pm from Rongri market while he was on his way from Songsak to Rongjeng in a car with his branch manager. Sources said the outfit has asked for INR 5 million for his release. Sources said the abductors had actually wanted to abduct the branch manager, but since Ali did not know how to drive, they took him away instead. “The militants had wanted Ali to take back the vehicle as they did not want him to be left stranded on the road. But since he did not know how to drive, they instead took him (Ali) away. The branch manager was told not to inform anyone within 24 hours else Ali would be killed,” an official said.
