On Sunday morning, a partially-torn flag of the United Liberation Front of Assam-Independent (ULFA-I) was discovered affixed to a bamboo fence in the Kokrajhar district of Assam.

The incident was reported at the border of Diajijiri and Bhutiapara villages of the district.

Locals claimed that unknown miscreants with evil-intentions might have hanged it on the bamboo fence next to the PWD road that connects the two villages.

Later, an Assam police team arrived at the scene and took down the partially torn flag of the banned militant organization.

"It seems to be a handiwork of miscreants. We are investigating the matter," said a police officer.

Meanwhile, the flag was seized by the police.
