Delhi High Court grants bail to Naga insurgent in money laundering case
The Delhi High Court on Thursday (September 24, 2026) granted bail to alleged Naga insurgent Masasasong Ao in a money laundering case being probed by the Enforcement Directorate.
The money laundering case was lodged in 2021 following the arrest of Alemla Jamir, a self-styled “cabinet minister” of the Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN)-IM, a banned separatist organisation, in a case registered under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA).
Jamir was intercepted at the Delhi airport on December 17, 2019, while she was about to travel to Dimapur, with ₹72 lakh.
Ao was arrested in the case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) in 2022.
