The general secretary of insurgent group National Socialist Council of Nagalim, widely known as NSCN-IM, has been admitted to a hospital in New Delhi.

According to NSCN-IM, he was admitted to the hospital – the name of which was not disclosed – after he had complained of an “upset stomach”.

“It was a routine checkup. There is nothing serious. He was admitted yesterday (Monday). The doctors advised him to be in the hospital for a day. He is most likely to be released by this (Tuesday) evening,” NSCN-IM leader Karaiba Chawang told InsideNe.
