On Saturday in western Assam’s Kokrajhar district, two militants from the newly formed Bodo insurgent group United Liberation of Bodoland (ULB) were killed in a pre-dawn “encounter” with security forces.
“Two suspected Bodo militants were gunned down by the police in an encounter after they allegedly opened fire in Kokrajhar district in the early hours on Saturday,” said a police official.
According to sources, a team of police and Army officers conducted a joint operation in Kokrajhar’s Lungsung forest after receiving information about the presence of armed militants in the bush.
“When the team had approached the armed militants in the jungle, they opened fire targeting the security forces. The police retaliated and later we found two persons were lying on the ground injured. They were taken to the RNB Hospital in Kokrajhar where they were declared brought dead,” said the official.
