Three ultras have surrendered in Mizoram while the State police have arrested one activist in different parts of the State. Three militants belonging to the Union Territory Demand Army (UTDA) surrendered to the Saiha district superintendent of Police Aloke Kumar, police said quoting delayed reports reaching from the interiors. In another incident, the leader  of Mizoram Farmers Liberation Force (MFLF) was arrested in the State capital, the police said.

The three surrendered activists of UTDA, which was allegedly involved in looting of guns in the southern part of the State, gave themselves up before the Saitha Superintencdent of Police after being persuaded to do so by various political parties and NGOs of the district, the police said. The UTDA had been demanding a separate Union territory for the erstwhile undivided Chhimtuipui district comprising Lai, Mara and Chakma autonomous district councils.

The leader of MFLF, T Vanlalhluta, was arrested on the very day the group called a statewide bandh that evoked no response, according to the police. The arrest of the MFLF member was also made in the wake of its recent statement that the group had identified the “17 most corrupt people in the State” and would soon “show them it is wrong to swindle public money.”
