Guwahati, Dec 10 (IBNS) : Two hardcore bodo militants were killed in an encounter with security forces in Assam's Kokrajhar district on Saturday morning, police said.

According to the reports, based on intelligence inputs, police and army  launched a joint operation in the Kasugaon reserve forest, 3 km from Soraibeel in the BTAD district where a militant group of NDFB(S) was hiding.


"When troops reached the remote area the militants fired at the security personnel. This resulted in  heavy exchange of fire between both sides in which two militants were killed on the spot," a top  police official said.

Security forces  recovered an AK-47 rifle, 21 rounds of live ammunition and one pistol, among other things  from the area.

The security personnel also busted a camp used by the militants.

The slain NDFB(S) militants are yet to be identified.
