Dreaded ULFA man surrenders

Much to a major relief, a hardcore ULFA militant has surrendered before Guwahati city police a day before the Republic Day on Saturday.

Identified as Gautom Nath alias Chetia surrendered before senior police superintendent Anand Praksh Tiwary in the evening. Gautom said that he found it quite difficult to continue it and decided to come back to the national mainstream.   

The close associate of Drishtri Rajkhowa who heads the crack unit (Battalion No 27)) joined ULFA in 2007. He hails from Sonitpur district. He underwent training in Myanmar apart from his visit to ULFA’s camp in Meghalaya.
