"It is not that I have lost my counterpart with his able officers in the freedom struggle for the WESEA region, Manipur has lost three indomitable revolutionary sons of the soil," ULFA-I said in a statement.

"History will remember them and the future generations should be inspired to fulfill their incomplete task of restoration of the stolen Sovereignty of Manipur," it added.

The accident took place in an undisclosed location in a forest area and so far police have no reliable information on it, a report said.

PREPAK, in an official release, stated that the outfit had dissolved its central committee following the incident and a new five-member interim council has been formed which look after the outfit's affairs for the time being.
