New Delhi: A top United Liberation Front of Asom-Independent (ULFA-I) commander, Drishti Rajkhowa along with four accomplices Vedanta, Yasin Asom, Ropjyoti Asom and Mithun Asom, surrendered with a huge quantity of arms following a swift operation executed by the Indian Army Intelligence Agencies at Meghalaya-Assam- Bangladesh Border, today.
ULFA-I was banned by the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) in 1990 which called it a terrorist organisation.
Drishti Rajkhowa has long been in the wanted list of the ULFA insurgents responsible for their activities in lower Assam. “His surrender is a major blow to the underground organisation and heralds a new dawn ushering in peace in the region,” a Ministry of Defence spokesperson stated, adding that by this operation Indian Army again reaffirmed, that at all times, it remains committed in maintaining peace and normalcy in the region.
