In a significant crackdown on sex trafficking, the Crime Control Cell (CCC) of GPRN/NSCN has disrupted an organized network in Dimapur, resulting in the rescue of two local females and the arrest of a non-local individual identified as Fazul Haque, a resident of Assam. The operation, supported by reliable intelligence, was carried out by the Ministry of Information and Publicity (MIP) of GPRN/NSCN’s Kilo (Home) Affairs, Camp Khehoyi. Haque was implicated in the harboring and sexual exploitation of trafficking victims and confessed during interrogation to collaborating with Mohit Uddin from Chümoukedima in regular trafficking activities.
Victims were reportedly transported in an Alto cab, registered as NL-07T-0770, owned by a person named Babul from Singrijan. As the investigation proceeded, certain individuals linked to the arrested suspect lodged complaints with the Dimapur Police, protesting the seizure of the vehicle. The MIP characterized these complaints as retaliatory, aimed at obstructing the investigation and downplaying the ongoing human trafficking crimes.
The MIP asserted that all actions taken during the rescue and arrest processes complied with due process, reiterating that substantial evidence would be presented when necessary. Furthermore, the MIP warned that any efforts to shield traffickers, spread false narratives, or interfere with anti-criminal activities would face strict penalties under the GPRN/NSCN Ahza.
GPRN/NSCN emphasized its dedication to combating criminal activities and affirmed that it would continue to act decisively against those exploiting local residents. Prior reports highlight that many victims of trafficking are local girls, including minors, while most pimps and traffickers operating in Dimapur are foreigners. In a related incident, on October 14, 2025, NSCN (I-M) UT-I personnel arrested a 31-year-old non-Naga car driver accused of sexually abusing two local girls. Reports have also emerged expressing concerns about children frequenting nightclubs and discos in Dimapur, suggesting possible involvement in the organized sex trade.
