 TURA: Two persons from Dalu were arrested by West Garo Hills police on Saturday last for having close links with the outlawed GNLA.

Police picked up Jibon Paul (40) and Jongsil M Sangma (26) from their homes after getting evidence of their involvement with the militant group.

Paul, who works in a pharmacy in Dalu, was found to be helping in providing medical assistance to injured and seriously ill militants of the GNLA. He would supply the cadres with medicines and also offered treatment to some. His accomplice Jongsil Sangma’s role involved alerting Paul about the medical needs of the ill militants and led him to their hideouts. Paul supplied medicines for treating diseases like malaria, skin infections, loose motion and other common ailments.

Jongsil aided the GNLA in providing information about sources from which money could be extorted.

Both the arrested have confessed to the police on their involvement with the militant outfit.
