A militant involved in the Dec 23 massacre in Assam's Kokrajhar district was Saturday gunned down by security forces, a day after police arrested seven Bodo insurgents including two involved in the killings. The slain militant was identified as Jeblang alias Jagat Basumatary, the platoon commander of the anti-talk faction of the National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB) in Kokrajhar district, Inspector General of Police (BTAD) L.R. Bishnoi said. "As part of the intensified operation (against militants), a joint team of Assam Police and Sashastra Seema Bal today (Saturday) gunned down Jablang at a remote area near Serfanguri around 2 p.m.," he said. "Jeblang was involved in the killing of civilians in Pakriguri on Dec 23. He was also involved in the killing of five Hindi-speaking people in Kokrajhar district last year," Bishnoi said. Police recovered an AK-56 rifle, 22 rounds of ammunition, two grenades and incriminating documents from his possession. Another police official said Jablang was involved in the sensational killing of 16-year-old Priya Basumatary in August last year. The girl was killed by militants in front of her parents and villagers after suspecting her of being a spy. The NDFB had killed over 70 people in five locations across three districts Dec 23. The violence also displaced over two lakh people across Kokrajhar, Sonitpur and Chirang and Udalguri districts -- part of the Bodoland Territorial Area Districts (BTAD). Police Friday arrested seven NDFB militants from Kokrajhar district and recovered a huge cache of arms and ammunition. Two of the arrested - Mithinga and Khurai - were involved in the killings in Kokrajhar Dec 23.

Assam killings: Top NDFB(S) militant nabbed - The Times of India

The chief recruiting officer of Bodo militant outfit NDFB(S), who is believed to be the brain behind the December killings of adivasis in Assam, was arrested on Tuesday along with seven others in a joint-operation by the army and the state police.

Self-styled 2nd Lieutenant Enon Bargoyary alias Erkhang, chief recruiting officer of NDFB(S), and self-styled platoon commander of Amteka area, Rinen Basumatary alias Majhi were apprehended by joint team of Army troops of Red Horn Division and Assam Police along the jungles of Assam-Bhutan Border, in Chirang District. Enon is also the militant group's central committee member, Army sources said. A senior army officer described him as number 3 in hierarchy within the militant organization. Enon was allegedly involved in recruiting and motivating NDFB(S) terrorists, including women cadres, and sending them to various camps outside the country, the sources said. "Enon was very close to outfits SS chairman IK Songbijit, SS army chief G Bedai and deputy army Chief Batha. Enon is believed to be the brain behind the killing of adivasis on December 14 in Kokrajhar District," the sources added.

Another key NDFB(S) member apprehended is Rinen of the outfit's 20th batch trained in Bhutan, who surrendered after Operation All Clear in 2003 but rejoined the group two years back.

Four weapons — two AK rifles and two pistols — and large quantity of ammunition were recovered from the apprehended persons, the sources said. The army has been carrying out operations in difficult and inaccessible forested areas of Kokrajhar and Chirang Districts which has forced NDFB(S) terrorists to flee from their safe hideouts and move to more vulnerable areas, where they are being apprehended or neutralized by the security forces.

Identifying the illegal immigrants is a great challenge since they have obtained all the trappings of a bonafide Indian citizen and have organised a cover story of their ancestry in India.

All thanks to our Indian politicians hawkeyed treachery for the vote bank.

Fackuerrudin Ahmed, who was ironically elevated to be a President of India, is said to have been the engineer to allow illegals into India, an addiction that caught on as the flavour of the ballot box by the later entrants to the office of the CM.

It is easy to track the illegals if they put the right resources to it.

There are many of this region who can easily make out the difference. And who can be better at it than Indian Bengalis?

The other option is to use religion.

WB was never so Islamic as it is today. Why?

That has to be seen and targetted.

Use this as cue to trace those madrasses and their nodes, channels and nexuses.

IB can do it. It may take time but IB can do it.

Being from Bengal and having served in Bengal too, one can have a 'hunch' as to who could be an illegal, but then 'hunches' can cause a whole lot of issues, if used as the sole proof of identifying illegals, including courts and human rights issues.

IB can do it, but then see the stink that all raise when the 'intellectuals' and pressure groups act the goat, as they did in the case of Ms Pillay of Greenpeace being offloaded and not permitted to attend a Greenpeace meeting where she was to 'brief' British MPs on India's 'violations' of 'green' activities.

Why do the governments care so much about these "pressure groups"? They don't influence the voting pattern. Their votes do not matter. They are not flush with money like the corporates. Then what is the reason? Is it because politicians long to be a part of the "High Class" Cozy club?

I had been watching Priya Pillai's twitter handle after her offloading. There was only a marginal increase in number of followers and most of the comments were not in her support except a few coming from people like S Varadarajan etc.

Pressure Groups are not without political backing.
