Guwahati: Three civilians were shot dead by suspected banned ULFA-I militants in broad daylight at Ledo area in upper Assam Tinsukia district on Monday.
The incident took place at Tamulbari on the Assam-Arunachal border in Tinsukia district.
Meanwhile, security forces have launched a massive operation against the militant group. “It was not clear why three people were targeted by the militant group,” said a source.
Reports suggest that ULFA-I militants sneaked into Assam through the jungle route from Myanmar, where they have a base and after doing their activity they fled away through the same route.
The ULFA-I has also not made any statement regarding the incident or their involvement in it.
It was suspected that ULFA-I militants carried out this attack in revenge against the killing of its field commander Uday Asom, who was killed by security forces during an encounter.
