Guwahati, Jun 17 (IBNS): Assam cops foiled a major attack prepared by Paresh Baruah led ULFA(I) targeting a BJP office and police station in Upper Assam’s Dibrugarh district after apprehending a hardcore militant of the outfit group on Thursday night, police said on Friday.
A top official of Assam police said that, the outfit group has planned to attack the BJP’s Dibrugarh district office and a police station in the oil rich Upper Assam district.
 
Based on intelligence input, police launched an operation at Khowang area in the district and nabbed a hardcore militant belonging to ULFA(I) and recovered huge cache of explosives in possession from him.
 
“The nabbed militant was sent by ULFA(I) chief Paresh Baruah to trigger explosions at BJP office and police station. But we have managed to foil the outfit group plan,” the police official said.
