Security forces in Assam have shot dead a Bodo militant who was to carry out recruitment drives for his outfit, an official said on Tuesday.
Guwahati-based defence spokesperson Lt. Col. Suneet Newton said a huge cache of arms and ammunition was recovered from the slain militant identified as Urga of the National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB) who underwent training in Myanmar.
He was killed during a joint operation by the Army’s Red Horns division and the Assam Police in the Prabatjhora reserve forest in Kokrajhar district on Monday night. - IANS
