In a major breakthrough, Dimapur police cracked down on a gang involved in the infamous money laundering racket called by various names like “Nigerian scam”, “Four One Nine” or “Get poor fast scheme.” Four persons including a Nigerian national, the kingpin, have been arrested in this connection. Briefing mediapersons, DCP (Zone -1), Dimapur Police, Vilhousie Peseyie, said the arrests were made following three FIRs filed at East Police Station in which the complainants, all women, reported that were duped off their money. The three women in the FIR stated that they were duped Rs. 31.50 lakhs, Rs. 6.47 lakhs and Rs. 25,000 respectively. Peseyie said a team of Dimapur Police including Dinesh Gupta, IPS probationer attached to East PS and Chopika Chophy, SI, camped for 16 days in Delhi and finally arrested the four accused. The four accused are presently in the custody of Dimapur Police. Two of the accused including the Nigerian identified as one Chiazo Nwaneri alias Jasper (31 years) and Chandan Kumar Choudary (28 years) were nabbed in Delhi while the other two gang members identified Narender Singh Bisht (27 years), Laxma Karniyal (36 years) as were arrested from Uttrakhand. Police also seized 42 SIM cards, 6 mobile handsets, 9 ATM cards, 3 internet devices, 3 passbooks, 3 cheque books, a laptop, 3 pen drives and Rs. 31,000 in

cash from Nwaneri. On the modus operandi of the gang, police said the kingpin Chiazo Nwaneri used to open hundreds of fake facebook accounts preferably using English names and posing as some rich gentleman. Through such fake accounts, Nwaneri starts to chat and get friendly with vulnerable victims, mostly women. After two-three months and having gained the confidence of the victim, Nwaneri would then devise various ways to fleece his victims, informed Dinesh Gupta, IPS, leading the investigation. The most common strategy is to inform the facebook friend (victim) that Nwaneri, posing as some rich European gentleman, was sending an expensive “gift” (like Apple laptop, I-phone, gold jewelry). After a couple of days, one of Nwaneri accomplices would pose as some customs or airport officials and inform the would-be victim over phone that the “gift” had arrived at IG Airport, New Delhi, and waiting to be claimed. However, to claim the gift Nwaneri accomplice would also inform the would-be victim that he or
she has to pay some money varying from thousands or rupees to a few lakhs as airport “clearance fee”, “custom fee” or “security clearance fee.” It’s hook, line and sinker! The victim deposits the money in an account given by Nwaneri or his men, but the gift never arrives. In many cases, Nwaneri would continue to fleece the victim citing one reason or the other. In some cases, Nwaneri and his men even threatened that they would send “international police” to arrest the victims if they did not pay up, police informed. Police informed that other strategies employed by Nwaneri to dupe the victim include posing as a rich westerner who is bored with the west and wants to settle in India or the North East Region along with all his wealth and lottery scams using names of reputed companies or offices like BBC, Reserve Bank of India and Coca Cola. According to police, Nwaneri has been staying in Delhi in a lavish apartment for the past three years on a fake passport after his passport expired in 2013.
5 percent of marriages inter-community; Mizoram, Meghalaya & sikkim top list Prachi Salve & Saumya Tewari IANS and IndiaSpend
Christian-dominated Mizoram - 87 percent of the population is Christian - has the most inter marriages marriages in India, a nation where 95 percent of Indians marry within their caste, according to a 2016 report from the National Council of Applied Economic Research (NCAER), a New Delhi-based think-tank. Meghalaya and Sikkim followed Mizoram, with 46 percent and 38
percent of inter-tribe marriages, according to The Indian Human Development Survey (IHDS-II), based on nationwide surveys conducted between 2011-12. It was put together by the University of Maryland and NCAER. A representative sample of 41,554 households contacted for the study was spread across 33 states and union territories, in rural and urban India. The three north-eastern states were followed by Muslim-dominated Jammu and Kashmir (35 percent)
and Gujarat (13 percent). The data belies the perception that with modernity and economic progress, traditional barriers of caste have broken down. The caste system is an ancient relic of a social hierarchy once based on division of labour. People are born into their caste. They cannot change it. In Madhya Pradesh, almost all (99 percent) people were married in their own caste, followed by Himachal Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, both at 98 percent.

In conversation with Rumbemo T. Kithan Vishü Rita Krocha Kohima | May 11
The hard work and determination of the 26 year old Naga lad, Rumbemo T. Kithan has paid off, having cleared the prestigious Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) civil services examination, 2016. Ranked 698, the results did not come as a surprise to him, even as he acknowledged that his success is a culmination of efforts from his side as well as the love, care and cooperation from his family, friends, and loved ones. Rumbemo, who hails from Yikhum village in Wokha district, had earlier cleared the UPSC examinations in 2015 and was working as an Indian Civil Accounts Service (ICAS) Officer. Prior to that, he cleared the NPSC examinations, 2013 and served as a Secretariat Assistant for some time. He was also selected as EAC after clearing the NPSC 2014 examination, the results of which was declared this year. In an exclusive interview with The Morung Express, Rumbemo revealed his journey to success while also looking back on his time as a Sec-
Rumbemo T. Kithan
retariat Assistant. “I used to go early by the office bus at around 9:30. Usually there aren’t many people during that time, so, I would finish reading the national newspapers and current affairs within 2 hours and then get to work when others come to office.” There was no stopping this young lad as he juggled between work and studies. After work, he read for about 3-4 hours generally and tried to make up by studying as much as possible during weekends. “It was a similar exercise when I was training in Delhi-Faridabad as an ICAS Probationer”,he stated.
Further, he said that while civil services was always a talking point at home when he was young, he did not know how to go about preparing for it due to lack of guidance. “So, like any other student, I followed the herd and gave the All India Engineering Entrance Exam and went on to study engineering. It was only after I graduated that I seriously thought about preparing for civil services”, he expressed. He started preparing himself seriously from mid 2012 and his perseverance has reaped him noteworthy results ever since. Rumbemo did his schooling from Mezhür Higher Secondary School and further studied at Kohima Science College. He then pursued B.Tech from the National Institute of Technology, Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir and also worked as a senior software engineer in Capgemini before clearing the NPSC. “Since I am colour blind, I am ineligible for IPS…with my rank I could have easily got IPS, but I am not sure of IAS. Since I didn’t opt for Indian Foreign Service (IFS) as well, I will be getting IRS (IT) in the event I don’t get IAS”, Rumbemo revealed.
