Guwahati, July 15 (IBNS) : The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Saturday filed a charge sheet against three top brass leaders of the anti-talk faction group of United Liberation Fron of Asom (ULFA) for intending to wage war against the country before the special NIA court in Guwahati.


The investigation agency filed charge sheet against C-in-C of the outlawed Paresh Baruah alias Paresh Asom alias Kamruj Zaman alias Nur-Uz-Zaman alias Zaman Bhai alias Pradip alias Paban Baruah, its Chairman Dr Abhijit Asom alias Dr AbhizeetAsom alias Abhijit barman alias Dr Mukul Hazaria and Gagan Hazarika alias Joydeep Cheleng.

While Paresh Asom and Abhijit Asom are still absconding, third accused Gagan Hazarika is in police custody.

According to the statement of the central investigation agency, the investigation agency has registered a suo-moto case (RC-04/2013/NIA-GUW) against the outfit group in December 2013 in their Guwahati office and the charge sheet was filed under sections 17, 18, 18A, 18B and 20 of Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967 and 121A, 124A, 120B, 385 of Indian Penal Code (IPC).

The NIA statement said the anti-talk faction of ULFA, headed by Paresh Baruah and other members of ULFA, are trying to revive terrorist activities by recruiting new cadres, organizing terrorist camps within as well as beyond Indian territories and resorting to extortion and kidnapping to raise funds for attacking Indian security forces, government establishment and infrastructure, thereby intending to wage war against the country.

“The NIA has collected sufficient materials, technical as well as circumstantial evidences against the accused persons during the course of investigation and established the allegations against the accused persons,” the central investigation agency said in the statement.

NIA said in the statement that, Paresh Baruah has been absconding in Myanmar and Dr Mukul Hazarika in United Kingdom.

“NIA has declared them as absconders and further course of action as per law is being initiated,” said in the statement.
