DIMA HALAM DAOGAH - ACTION (DHD-A)

Dima Halam Daogah (Action) was floated by David Kemprai alias Action Dimasa and Bongrison Khelma alias Son Khelma after they escaped by breaking jail on 11 June 2013. Action Dimasa was earlier a member of the DHD (J) and was behind the bars from 6 December 2007 to 10 June 2013 until he managed to escape from Haflong Jail along with Bongrison Khelma, a former DNDF (Dimasa National Democratic Front) cadre. Action Dimasa immediately fled to Dimapur and was reported taking shelter in Assam–Nagaland border. He gathered some other youths and started extortion drive in Dima Hasao district. The group managed to create terror among the people after claiming that they have killed executive engineer of the Irrigation Department of Assam Rajiv Kumar Pathak for extortion money on 22 November 2013. On 12 December 2013, the self-styled commander-in-chief of the group was arrested by the police at Haflong, along with a pistol and ammunition.
