Assam Police Arrest Two ULFA(I) Cadres, Foil Planned Terror Attack in Tinsukia
Assam Police, aided by central security agencies, arrested two active ULFA(I) cadres in Tinsukia district, foiling a planned terror attack targeting civilians. The arrested, identified as self-styled second lieutenants Humenjyoti Baruah and Papu Moran, were found with two AK-56 rifles, ammunition, grenades, and survival supplies. Preliminary investigations suggest the attack aimed to create widespread fear, with possible involvement of external actors. The duo is linked to previous insurgent attacks, and investigations into wider networks continue.
