Guwahati: Sleuths of Assam Police have nabbed a youth, suspected to be a cadre of outlawed United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) group and seized explosives from his possession. Identified as Dharmendra Kalita, he
was arrested on Saturday near the Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) refinery at
Noonmati
during a joint routine patrolling of police and CRPF personnel. He was produced
before the media persons on Sunday (December 27). Kalita was found walking
along
the railway line near the Sector 3 area of refinery complex. On being asked to
stop walking by the police, he tried in vain to run away, he was caught later
on. Reports say that the explosives were meant for blasts at the refinery and
nearby places. Though the ULFA's military strength has waned, it still remains
a potent force.
