Arrested Tutu Bora had links with the banned ULFA-I
Assam: Police Arrest ULFA-I Linkman From Majuli
The Crime Branch of Guwahati Police apprehended a person believed to be a linkman for a senior functionary of the banned outfit United Liberation Front of Asom – Independent (ULFA-I) on Saturday.
Tutu Bora, aged 38, a resident of Gormur in Assam’s Majuli district was arrested today in a major breakthrough. He was reportedly working with Ganesh Lahon to secure information on contractors working in Majuli.
He was involved in extortion and recruiting new cadres for the banned militant outfit.
Notably, this is the second arrest of a linkman of the banned organisation within a week after the arrest of one Amu Khan on March 15.
Tutu Bora was arrested earlier in 2010 for having links with ULFA in Jorhat.
After that he had reportedly joined a private company in Pune. He had returned to Assam and joined another company here.
Apart from securing information and scouting for recruits, he also collected uniforms.
Both Amu Khan and Tutu Bora knew each other & worked in tandem for the banned terror organisation.
Further investigation is on.
