Three ULFA (I) cadres were arrested from Maligaon in Guwahati on Monday late night.
As per reports, the three members were hiding in BBC Colony, Maligaon. The arrested individuals were identified as Asim Adhikari, Rupjyoti Das and Moon Devnath.
A pistol and ammunition were recovered from the possession of the trio during the police search.
Adhikari, believed to be closely associated with ULFA-I, had been living in Guwahati under the guise of a computer operator.
The police revealed that Adhikari was actively involved in recruiting young individuals for the militant group.
This comes days after the Director General of Police in Assam, GP Singh challenged the banned militant outfit United Liberation Front of Asom-Independent (ULFA-I), asking them to target him if he posed a threat, the outfit has now accepted the challenge and asked the top cop to move freely around Guwahati for a week without security.
