That is where no casteism matters, it is a single Nepali identity here: KRA claims responsibility for kidnapping From Our Correspondent IMPHAL, June 15 ? It is almost a week after their abduction on June 6, the outlawed Kuki Revolutionary Army (KRA) came out with an announcement that they are responsible for the kidnapping of seven tractor drivers in Manipur.

The outfit also warned that if their ?demand? is not met within June 15, the drivers will be awarded the death ?sentence?.
