ULFA (I) executes two of its members for ‘spying’

The Hindu  

GUWAHATI Outlawed United Liberation Front of Asom-Independent or ULFA has executed two of its members to death for allegedly spying for the “occupational Indian forces”. In a statement issued on Saturday, the outfit’s publicity wing said the Assam police had planted Dhanjit Das and Sanjib Sarma to provide information about the activities of ULFA members. Sarma was caught with “advanced communication devices” that were used to relay information to the police, the outfit claimed after releasing a video showing him confessing that the police and the Indian Army made him infiltrate the ULFA to spy for them. Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said in April that the recruitment of new cadres by the outfit was disturbing when efforts were on to bring its leaders to the talks table.
