New Delhi, Mar 18 (PTI) The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Wednesday chargesheeted three cadres of the proscribed People’s Liberation Army (PLA) terrorist organisation in the Assam Rifles truck ambush case, in which two personnel of the paramilitary force were killed in Manipur last year.
The trio, 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 attack on the 33 Assam Rifles truck took place at Nambol Sabal Leikai in Bishnupur area of the northeastern state in September 2025.
“It was perpetrated by the PLA in furtherance of their conspiracy to create terror in the minds of the people and wage war against the Government of India with the intent of destabilising the country,” a statement issued by the probe agency said.
