Two hardcore NDFB(S) militants killed in Assam encounter
According to the reports, based on intelligence inputs, police and army launched a joint operation in the Kasugaon reserve forest, 3 km from Soraibeel in the BTAD district where a militant group of NDFB(S) was hiding.
"When troops reached the remote area the militants fired at the security personnel. This resulted in heavy exchange of fire between both sides in which two militants were killed on the spot," a top police official said.
Security forces recovered an AK-47 rifle, 21 rounds of live ammunition and one pistol, among other things from the area.
The security personnel also busted a camp used by the militants.
The slain NDFB(S) militants are yet to be identified.
