Myanmar lifts lid off Chin rebels, submits Mizoram probe report
The Northeast Daily (Aizawl)
January 11, 2001
AIZAWL, JAN 10: Myanmar has sent the interrogation report of its two
nationals suspected to be involved in the daring bank robbery in South
Mizoram last year.
The two have reportedly confessed looting the State Bank of India
Lwangtlai branch, of about Rs five crore on January 17, 2000, to the
Myanmar authorities.
The Mizoram officials were upbeat as the state police had been claiming
the involvement of Myanmarese nationals in the crime from the very
beginning. ?But till the time they record their statements to an Indian
court we cannot celebrate?, additional secretary (home) C Tawnluia told
UNI.
According to the report, which was received by the state government
through the Northeast division of the Union home ministry, Lalfela and
Laineigha distributed most of the booty between themselves. The police
were able to recover part of the amount in Mizoram, while some money was
recovered from a few people arrested during the course of investigation.
The two are suspected to be former members of the underground Chin
Nationnal Army of Myanmar.
There is a growing opinion in the state that Mizoram might request New
Delhi to use diplomatic channels to extradite the two suspects. (UNI)
