Guwahati, May 20 (IBNS): Security forces apprehended two hardcore militants belonging to ULFA (I) and NSCN (K) from upper Assam’s Tinsukia district on Friday, officials said on Saturday.

Kohima based Defence PRO Colonel Chiranjeet Konwer said that, the Changlang battalion under DAO division carried out an operation at Ledo along Assam-Arunachal Pradesh border and apprehended a hardcore ULFA (I) militant.

The nabbed militant was identified as Bikram Chakma and recovered a point 22 caliber pistol with ammunition.

“On interrogation the cadre revealed the whereabouts of an over gound worker of NSCN (K) named Tara Chand who was involved in extortion activities and was providing support to terrorists in the area. These cadres were working hand in hand terrorizing people to extort money from the area and were involved in various nefarious activities,” the Defence PRO said.

These apprehensions are in continuation of successful operations being carried out by Assam Rifles in the region wherein a number of high ranking and notorious cadres have been apprehended in recent days.

These successful operations are acting as major setbacks to the extortion network and activities of outlawed groups in the region.
