United National Liberation Front (UNLF) chairperson R K Meghen was picked up by National Investigation Agency (NIA) on November 10 a day after he was released from Guwahati Central Jail after serving a 10-year sentence, reports Indian Express. Meghen, popular in the Imphal valley as Sanayaima, or ‘precious son’, was expected to arrive in Imphal on November 11. Several events to welcome him had been planned by supporters at the Tiddim Ground and Kangla Fort in Manipur’s capital. According to sources, officials of the Union Home Ministry had requested Meghen to not travel to Manipur, where the “situation is volatile”, with the Naga peace talks yet to be concluded.
