Leaders of United Liberation Front of Asom (Ulfa), an Indian separatist group, have admitted ties to training camps in China. From the Hindustan Times:
Arabinda Rajkhowa, chairman of the United Liberation Front of Asom (Ulfa), and Raju Baruah, the outfit’s deputy commander-in-chief, surrendered to Indian authorities near the India-Bangladesh border in Meghalaya, along with eight others on Friday morning.
Raju Baruah, Paresh’s deputy who surrendered, has told security agencies about the Ulfa cadre receiving arms training at camps in China. Border Security Force (BSF) officials took them all into custody soon after they crossed into Indian territory from Bangladesh near Dawki in Meghalaya’s East Khasi Hills.
There has been widespread media speculation that Rajkhowa had been caught and already flown to Delhi. Hindustan Times had, however, reported on Friday that the Ulfa leader was still in Dhaka and would cross over and surrender as part of an agreement reached with the government.
