The explosive was discovered two days after an Assam Rifles personnel was injured when a suspected insurgent lobbed a China-made hand grenade at the transit camp at North AOC.

 

Then, PREPAK (Progressive) had claimed responsibility for planting the bomb.

 

The organisation is reportedly against the 'homecoming ceremony' in which 20 militants belonging to various banned outfits surrendered before chief minister N Biren Singh on March 9.
