Don’t be deceived by the demure look on Nisha Daimari’s face. This 21-year-old petite female from Assam is a terrorist. This mother of two has reportedly been extorting crores of rupees from the rich in northeastern states of India. According to police, Nisha is a top leader in the banned separatist organisation National Democratic Front of Bodoland.
Police arrested Nisha and her accomplices Dwimalu Daimari (28) and Jani Dung (22) from a house in JP Nagar, fifth phase, on Saturday. Daimari and Dung are also said to be top leaders in the terror outfit, which has nearly a thousand members in its ranks. Cops recovered from the trio a laptop, mobile handsets, about 25 SIM of different states, about a thousand condoms and pornographic material.
Nisha's first husband is said to be Ranjan Daimari, the chief of National Democratic Front of Bodoland. (It is not clear who her second husband is.) Her brief in the outfit was to extort money from the rich. After Assam police arrested Ranjan in May, fearing arrest Nisha flew to Bangalore along with Daimari and Dung. The trio, who had more than 50 cases against them, landed in the city on May 5. They rented a house in JP Nagar.
Nisha and Dwimalu purchased many SIM cards of different states. They procured a list of rich people in northeastern states. Before she called a rich person, she gathered all details about her target with the help of NDFB cadres. The laptop recovered from the trio had details about hundreds of rich people in the Northeast.
She used to call her targets using the SIM cards or via Internet. A senior police officer said, “At first she would talk politely to the victim, explain about her outfit, and demand money for its activities. If the person refused to part with money, her angry side would surface. She would threaten them that they would be killed if they did not pay up.
The NDFB cadres in Assam would then collect money from the victims.” She used to make extortion calls to about 10-15 people every month. Thanks to her efforts, the NDFB would collect about Rs 1 crore to Rs 1.5 crore every month for her organisation.
Nisha had accounts in different banks. The money extorted would be deposited in these accounts. She would distribute this money to her cadres in the Northeast.
Nisha underwent a three-month training in guerilla warfare in Kaggar Soli, Bangladesh. She learnt how to operate weapons and make bombs. After this training, she became the 'Dimi Cadre' — the main leader in the NDFB.
NDFB’s main objective is to extort money in the Northeast. It also creates panic by bombing parts of the north-eastern states.
Acting on a tip off, a JP Nagar police team — headed by inspector S K Umesh and sub-inspector Manoj Kumar — arrested the terrorists. Assam police, who assisted in this operation, took the trio to Assam on Saturday night.
Inspector Umesh said, “Without any fear, she narrated all the details about her activities.
Primary investigation showed us that she has collected crores of money from the rich people in northeastern states. All the items seized from the trio have been handed over to Assam police as they are investigating the case."
