A press release from ACAUT Media Cell also demanded that the arrested persons be booked under stringent NSA, and Dimapur Municipal Council should cancel the license of all the 17 transport carriers booked for indulging in extortion activities “at the cost of the harried consumers” of Nagaland and Manipur states. It also stated that the Dimapur police should make public the approximate amount collected from interstate goods carriers per year.
Applauding the Anti-Extortion Team personnel of Dimapur police, the release also stated that the Dimapur police has “vindicated” the stand of ACAUT Nagaland on “what ACAUT has been highlighting the past 1 year” by exposing the racket.
“This episode has clearly revealed that the if the state of Nagaland backs the police force to the hilt, the police can do a lot to check the menace of extortion and illegal taxation activities in the State,” it added.
