DIMAPUR — Acting on specific intelligence inputs, the crime control cell of GPRN/NSCN (Khehoyi camp) on December 29 evening intercepted an alleged organised sex trafficking operation in and around Dimapur, rescuing two local girls and apprehending one person in connection with the case.
In a press release issued on Sunday, the group stated that the operation was carried out following reports of flesh trade activities in the district.
During the interception, it added, the rescued girls were taken into custody for their ‘safety.’
The group’s crime control cell apprehended one Fazul Haque of Baragram in Assam, who is presently residing in Dimapur, for his alleged involvement in trafficking, harbouring and sexual exploitation.
A local taxi (Maruti Alto) was also seized during the operation.
The group claimed that during interrogation, it was revealed that the accused, along with another individual identified as “Mohit Uddin,” a resident of 7th Mile in Chümoukedima, had been allegedly engaged in sex trafficking activities.

The seized vehicle, reportedly owned by one ‘Babul’ of Singrijan, was allegedly being used regularly for the illegal trade.
The GPRN/NSCN further stated that while investigation was underway, a complaint was lodged by certain individuals with the police regarding the apprehension of the accused and seizure of the vehicle.
It described the complaint as retaliatory in nature and alleged that it was aimed at obstructing the investigation and diluting the seriousness of human trafficking offences.
Reiterating that the operation was conducted following ‘due procedure,’ the group maintained that all actions taken during the rescue and arrest were supported by evidence.
It cautioned against false or misleading attempts to shield traffickers or discredit anti-crime activities, and urged the public and authorities to cooperate and refrain from spreading misinformation.
