After three decades of operating from foreign soil, the United Liberation Front of Asom (Ulfa) now also has foreign nationals in its ranks.This came to light after the Border Security Force (BSF) nabbed a Bangladeshi national, who was also an Ulfa cadre, after he infiltrated the India-Bangladesh border in Meghalaya’s West Garo Hills district on Wednesday.A BSF spokesperson said, ‘Acting on a tip-off regarding infiltration of militants with arms and ammunition into Indian territory from Bangladesh, the BSF intelligence team deployed at Tura laid a trap. It apprehended the Bangladeshi Ulfa cadre from Kachhuadogri in Meghalaya’s West Garo Hills district. He disclosed his name as Peramisom Marak, resident of the Badagazni village under the Jhenaihati police station in Sherpur in Bangladesh.’The BSF also recovered a 9mm pistol, two 9mm magazines, eight 9mm live rounds and a mobile phone with a Bangladeshi SIM card from his possession, reports The Times of India.‘He revealed he has been working with the Ulfa in Bangladesh for the last three years and has close association with Dristi Rajkhowa, deputy ‘commander-in-chief` of the anti-talks Ulfa (Independent) and his body guards,’ the spokesperson said. The militant has confessed to transporting weapons across the border for Ulfa.‘Badagazni area in Bangladesh is a safe haven for Indian insurgents as they easily mix with the local tribal there and avoid arrest by the security forces. There are also good number of sympathizers in that village.‘The BSF is now trying to figure out the Indian associates who are providing assistance to these cadres in the bordering areas,’ the spokesman added.
