SHILLONG: The arrest of two HNLC cadres along with two over ground workers from Mawkyrwat in South West Khasi Hills District on Wednesday provides evidences that the once dreaded outfit is making attempts for a comeback.
Police sources on Friday informed that seizure of extortion notes from the arrested cadres indicate that the HNLC has been actively involved in collecting money from well-to-do people in an obvious attempt at reorganising themselves.
Interrogation of the arrested cadres have not provided further leads in the case, sources said.
Police sources also informed that the militant group has been making attempts to lure poor youths from rural areas into joining the outfit.
