Agartala, Dec 16: Two more hardcore cadres of the National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT) were arrested on Saturday after they fled from their Bangladeshi hideout.
The NLFT militants have been identified as Ganaram Reang and Raibahadur Reang.
According to police, the two militants crossed the India-Bangladesh border after escaping from their Jupui camp in Bangladesh and took shelter in the house of one Railanhya Reang.
“We have arrested both of them after getting tip-off information. One Chinese pistol, some cartridges, some NLFT’s subscription receipts, several incriminating documents, and huge Indian and Bangladeshi currencies were recovered from the militants,” said a police official.
Police said that two NLFT leaders, Sachin Debbarma and Uppal Debbarma, were arrested late on Thursday night at Simna in Western Tripura, immediately after the duo entered the state from Bangladesh through a clandestine route.
He said that the extremist leaders were released from jail in Bangladesh a few days ago after several years in prison.
