In an early morning joint operation between the Internal Security Division (ISD) of the state and Assam Police, four wanted Bodo militants have been arrested from a house in Srigandha Kaval, within Rajagopalnagar Police station limits in the city on Saturday.

The arrested have been identified as Tomar Basumatri, Sandan Basumatri, Naseen Basumatri and Jibal Nursery, all in their early twenties. The four militants were working at a private plastic factory in Peenya Industrial Area and are said to have been hiding in the city from the past one year. The Assam police who have been investigating the Bodo militant network in Assam, chanced upon the gang hiding in the city and tipped off the ISD, sources said.

The ISD is working with the Assam police to track down other Bodo militants who may be hiding in the city and the State as well.
