Earlier on April 24, two cadres of the banned insurgent outfit Kamatapur Liberation Organisation (KLO) were killed in fresh clashes that erupted with the police in Assam's Kokrajhar.

According to reports, the police launched extensive operations at Chakraxila Hills after receiving specific inputs about the presence of KLO cadres there.

The police busted a hideout of the banned outfit after thorough searching. This led to violent clashes between the police and the outfit.

The two deceased cadres were identified as Abhijit Deka of Rowta and Nipun Roy of Bongaigaon.
