New Delhi, March 18 The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Wednesday filed chargesheets against three members of the banned People's Liberation Army (PLA) terrorist organization in the Assam Rifles truck ambush case, in which two personnel of the paramilitary force were killed in Manipur last year.
The three individuals, identified as Thongram Sadananda Singh alias Ngachik, Khundongbam Oji Meitei alias Keilal, and Irengbam Jugindra Meitei alias Jugin Meitei, all residents of Manipur, were earlier arrested by law enforcement agencies, officials said.
The chargesheet was filed before the NIA special court in Imphal, Manipur, they said.
The attack on the 33 Assam Rifles truck took place at Nambol Sabal Leikai in the Bishnupur area of the northeastern state in September 2025.
"It was carried out by the PLA in furtherance of their conspiracy to instill terror among the people and wage war against the Government of India with the intent of destabilizing the country," a statement issued by the investigating agency said.
NIA investigations have revealed that on the day of the attack, PLA members, armed with prohibited firearms and explosive substances, had gathered at the Nambol Sabal Leikai crossing and ambushed the truck.
The truck was damaged in the ambush, which led to the death of two Assam Rifles personnel and serious injuries to five others.
