Like his father, Bohoto Kiba is also a powerful Naga rebel leader. He courted controversy as once he threatened to shoot the members of the press.
“I haven’t seen the picture (bride and groom brandishing automatic rifles) and I am not aware of it,” Nagaland police chief, T. John Longkumer told IANS.
The senior police officials said that the bride and the groom should be arrested for displaying illegal arms which is prohibited under the Arms Act 1959.
The rebel group NSCN-U was formed by breakaway leaders of the Socialist Council of Nagalim – Isak-Muivah and the Myanmar-based Socialist Council of Nagaland-Khaplang. It is one of the seven Naga groups holding peace talks with the government.
