Guwahati: Five ULFA (Independent) militants have been arrested and a huge cache of arms and ammunition seized from their possession in Assam’s Charaideo district, police said on Thursday.
The owner of the house where the militants had taken shelter was also arrested, a senior police officer said. The arrests come ahead of Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal’s scheduled visit to the district on Thursday, he said. Based on information about movement of ULFA(I) militants along the Assam-Arunachal Pradesh-Nagaland border areas, security forces had intensified counter-insurgency operations, the officer said.
Acting on a tip-off that five persons were holed up in a house in Tarai village in Sapekhati police station area, the Assam Police and the Indian Army had launched a joint operation on Wednesday evening, he said.
The village was cordoned off and the five militants were apprehended from the house of Bhuvan Gogoi, the officer said. The arrested persons include militants Apurba Gogoi alias Arohan Asom and Simanta Gogoi alias Maina, an explosives expert. (PTI)
