Who is Seiminlun Gangte? 

51-year-old Seiminlun Gangte is a resident of Churachandpur in Manipur. 

Gangte worked as a private teacher in Kwakta before the ethnic violence began. 

After violence brought daily life to a halt in Manipur, he was ferrying goods for the school’s founder and proprietor of a hardware store in Kwakta.

The NIA booked Gangte on July 19 under the anti-terror law, the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA), among others, in a case related to a transnational conspiracy by Myanmar and Bangladesh-based leadership of terror outfits to wage war against the Government of India. 

What are the allegations against Myanmar & Bangladesh-based militant groups? 

NIA says that Myanmar and Bangladesh-based militant groups have been providing funds to procure arms, ammunition and other types of terrorist hardware. 

These are being sourced both from across the border, as well as from other terrorist outfits active in northeastern states of India. 

According to NIA investigations, there is a conspiracy by Myanmar- and Bangladesh-based militant groups with a section of militant leaders in India to indulge in incidents of violence.
