Manipur ultra’s ‘mystery’ solved
=======================================================
MOTIHARI/IMPHAL: The mystery surrounding the whereabouts of United National Liberation Front (UNLF) chairman Rajkumar Meghen, who went missing after being reportedly caught in Bangladesh about two months ago, was over finally when he was arrested at Motihari in Bihar on Tuesday.
A Manipur-based banned outfit, UNLF is the oldest militant group in the northeast. It has been fighting for Manipur's separation from India. Meghen is a member of Manipur's royal family of Manipur. He studied international relations in Kolkata's Jadavpur University
Meghen's father Rajkumar Madhurayyajit was an army officer in the Allied Forces during the British rule and had founded SSB for Manipur and Nagaland in Imphal. Meghen's elder brother was a pilot with the Indian Air Force.
''A joint police team from Manipur and Bihar arrested Meghen from near Chhatauni Chowk. Manipur Police AIG C P Mina identified the militant leader,'' SP (East Champaran) Paras Nath said. Meghen had taken shelter near the India-Nepal border to avoid police action. No arms was found on him.
Confirming Meghen's arrest, additional SP (Imphal West) A K Jhaljit Singh said, ''I have received a message from the National Investigation Agency (NIA) that the UNLF chairman was arrested in Motihari.''
Meghen was produced in the court of Motihari CJM Madusudan Tiwari under heavy police escort. He was later taken to Imphal on a three-day transit remand.
