In a significant operation, Assam Police arrested a suspected linkman of the United Liberation Front of Asom – Independent (ULFA-I) in Duliajan. The suspect was apprehended after police received intelligence inputs about his involvement in illegal activities. During the operation, authorities recovered an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) and a 7.65 mm pistol from his possession. The arrest is being considered a major breakthrough in efforts to curb insurgent activities in the region.
The ULFA-I, a banned separatist militant group, has been responsible for various acts of violence and disruption in Assam over the years. The recovery of the IED and the pistol is seen as a significant setback for the group, which has been attempting to maintain its foothold in the region. The arrested individual is suspected to have links with ULFA-I operatives, making this operation a crucial success in maintaining peace and security in Assam.
