New Delhi: Self-styled Finance Secretary of banned Nagaland insurgent group NSCN (K) was today arrested by National Investigation Agency (NIA). The insurgent Khekaho Rochill, 34, was arrested from Dimapur in Nagaland by NIA in coordination with Assam Rifles, a press release issued by the agency said.
