Guwahati, Jun 17 (IBNS): Assam cops foiled a major attack prepared by Paresh Baruah led ULFA(I) targeting a BJP office and police station in Upper Assam’s Dibrugarh district after apprehending a hardcore militant of the outfit group on Thursday night, police said on Friday.
A top official of Assam police said that, the outfit group has planned to attack the BJP’s Dibrugarh district office and a police station in the oil rich Upper Assam district.
Based on intelligence input, police launched an operation at Khowang area in the district and nabbed a hardcore militant belonging to ULFA(I) and recovered huge cache of explosives in possession from him.
