Guwahati, July 13 (NKTV): A militant of the National Liberation Front of Bodoland (NLFB) outfit was killed in a police encounter in Udalguri today.
Acting on a tip-off, police launched an operation in Dimachang wherein the outfit’s self-styled Udalguri district commander was killed.
“Early this morning, one Jayphrush @ N Jwngkhwl…was killed in police operation in Dimachang area of Mazbat police station of Udalguri district” Singh tweeted.
A pistol and several cartridges were seized from the encounter site, he added.
The slain militant was a close associate of former NDFB leader M Batha who had surrendered along with several other cadres during the signing of the third Bodo Peace Accord in January 2020 but later returned to the forest to set up the NLFB.
