Ulfa-I's Republic Day terror plot foiled, 3 held

DIBRUGARH: Police foiled Ulfa-I‘s planned terrorist attack on Oil India Limited (OIL) installations during Republic Day celebrations in Assam by arresting three key operatives in Dibrugarh and recovering explosives and weapons Friday, reports Rajib Dutta.
Acting on a tip-off, Namrup DSP Pranjit Das and sub-inspector Bhaskar Saikia raided a rented house near a CISF unit in Duliajan, leading to the arrest of Bitupan Gogoi, alias Jayanta.
The raid resulted in seizure of a 7.65mm pistol, multiple rounds of live ammunition, a sophisticated IED, 11 phones, and Rs 49,500 in cash. A subsequent operation led to arrests of Bolin Gogoi and Bharat Hazarika from Dirial village and Tengakhat, respectively. “The group was planning to detonate IEDs at designated oil fields in Tengakhat and Duliajan,” DSP Das said.
