Lopstar Marak of Doba A’pal village was working for the GNLA as an over ground worker providing details on police movements and also helping with the supply of ration for the militants.
Kimjan Marak alias Janjan, hailing from Resagre village, worked over ground for GNLA ‘commander’ Pilliport D Shira.
Both collaborators of the banned outfit had fled their homes a few months back after police began a search for them. Unable to sustain life in the jungles they surrendered to authorities.
