Top NDFB (S) militant nabbed along Assam-Arunachal Pradesh border
Following the intelligence input, Assam police and army jointly launched operation in the bordering area of Assam’s Sonitpur district about presence of a militant group at the area.
A top police official said that, when troops reached the remote jungle area, the militants started fire and bullets were exchanged lasting for half an hour.
Security forces managed to nab a top NDFB (S) leader, but other militants of the group fled taking the advantage of thick jungle.
The nabbed militant was identified as Badaisa Basumutary and security personnel recovered a pistol, several rounds live ammunition and other warlike stores in possession from him.
The outfit group is active in Northern Assam and BTAD area.
