SHILLONG: A GNLA cadre Harison M Sangma alias Ranja, alias Rabal surrendered to Dainadubi police on Monday night. Police sources informed that Harison was summoned to GNLA camp by a cadre identified as Piliport. The intention was to eliminate Harison as per orders of Sohan D Shira, the GNLA supremo.
Sensing trouble, Harison escaped and came directly to Dainadubi police station. After surrendering he led the police team to a nearby jungle where he had buried his pistol, five live ammunition and one VHF communication handset.
GNLA has been on a killing spree of its cadres on some pretext or other, the surrendered GNLA cadre said. Harison also informed that many of the cadres were killed and their bodies buried in the jungle. The family members of these cadres are aware of this fact.
He also informed that Ajan Momin@ Jimmy of Williamnagar area is the most brutal member and has eliminated many cadres. Harison says he became disillusioned by the killings and escaped. Many of the escaped cadres are joining ASAK led by Reding T Sangma.
Police sources say that this is actually a fight to control the extortion racket on NH 62 and coal mines.
In the last 2 months the GNLA has gunned down five civilians and injured one. All these executions were carried out by Jimmy and gang to teach a lesson to those deserters who wish to join ASAK, Harison informed.
