Dibrugarh, Oct 24: Security forces have arrested four individuals and seized a large quantity of medical supplies and other goods near the Myanmar border following a targeted operation in Nampong, Changlang district of Arunachal Pradesh.
The arrested persons have been identified as Jitu Moran alias Moina (50), Julie Gogoi (38), Dipak Gogoi (52), and Yanshay Sokrang.
According to police, Julie Gogoi has been running a grocery shop in Nampong since 2001.
The operation was launched based on credible intelligence that ULFA(I) cadre SS Major General Arunodoi Dohutia had demanded medicines and other supplies from a resident of Tinsukia in Assam.
“We have also detained four Myanmarese nationals for allegedly transporting goods to ULFA camps across the border,” said an official.
He added, “We have seized a substantial cache of medical supplies and other essentials.”
On Tuesday night, security forces gunned down a ULFA(I) militant in a fierce encounter with Assam Rifles personnel at Namsai in Arunachal Pradesh.
The gunbattle took place at the 6 Mile area under Namsai police station in Namsai district.
“Assam Rifles had received a tip-off regarding the presence of six to seven ULFA(I) cadres in the 6 Mile Lekang Khampti area. Based on the information, the personnel launched an operation. During the operation, one ULFA(I) militant was neutralised,” said a police official.
