An active cadre of the banned militant outfit ULFA (Independent), identified as Jit Asom, also known by his real name Janardan Gogoi, has surrendered before authorities in Nagaland.

Following his surrender, the former insurgent has been taken into police custody by the Charaideo district police in Assam for further questioning and legal formalities.

According to police sources, Janardan Gogoi is a resident of Uday Nagar, Sadar Chapakhowa, located in the
