Goalpara Superintendent of Police Luis Aind said that an AK-56 rifle, over 100 live bullets, magazines and a hand grenade were recovered from his possession.

“The incident took place at a place called Balbola under Dhupdhara police station . There was specific intelligence that some cadres were hiding at a house. A joint team of police and Army carried out the operation,” Aind told IANS, adding that while one cadre was killed, another three to four escaped. “It is learnt that the slain cadre was involved in the attack on a BSF convoy on March 30,” the SP said.
