Earlier, Police had mistaken him as the famous Nanao Singh, a member of United National Liberation Front (UNLF), who was also in the wanted list of National Investigation Agency (NIA). According to sources, Nanao was staying in Gandhi Vihar area of North Delhi for the past one year and he would make extortion calls to businessmen and individuals in the northeastern States.
