Hardcore ULFA (I) Cadre Nabbed in Assam

Charaideo, June 23, 2019:

An United Liberation Front of Asom (Independent) (ULFA-I) cadre called Rituparna Asom alias Surajit Limboo has been apprehended by the Sapekhati Police Station in Charaideo District of Assam.

Surajit Limboo had gone missing from his home on 6 September 2018. It later came to light that he had left his house to join the ULFA (I).

His joining the ULFA has been corroborated by surrendered cadres and also by his own acceptance.

The ULFA (I) militant was nabbed today at around 2 pm at Dhuniya Pathar under the Sapekhati Police Station.

Rituparna Asom alias Surajit Limboo, aged 17-18 yrs, is a resident Sapekhati in Charaideo District. He dropped out of school in class VIII.

It may be mentioned that a cadre of the proscribed militant outfit, United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA), had surrendered before the Golaghat police on Friday.

The cadre had been identified as Numal Sara alias Simanta Asom. Simanta Asom joined ULFA in 2011 and underwent training in neighboring country Myanmar. He hails from Nakkati in Assam’s Dergaon. However, the cadre has not surrendered any arms.

In yet another ULFA-related news, security personnel arrested a United Liberation Front of Asom, Independent (ULFA-I) linkman from Chengapathar under Tongona Police Station in Tinsukia district on June 10.

The linkman had been identified as Ridip Neog alias Rounto. The 36-year old ULFA cadre Ridip is the son of Bhangeshwar Neog of Chengapathar village.

The linkman was arrested based on a specific input. A joint operation was launched by Tinsukia Police along with 68 Bn CRPF, 210 Bn Cobra team – 01 camp Tinsukia and 23 Punjab.

This is another setback to the militant group after the demise of a top commander of the separatist outfit called Rupantar Axom, who died in Myanmar on Monday.
