New Delhi, September 11

The NIA today said it had filed a charge sheet against seven members of the outlawed ULFA for their involvement in killing a police officer in Tinsukia district of Assam.

A spokesperson of the agency said three of them had been arrested and a hunt was on for the four others.

“Officer-in-charge of Bordumsa police station, Sub-Inspector Bhaskar Kalita was killed and his service rifle (AK-47) looted when his party was attacked by a group of United Liberation Front of Assam (ULFA) militants at Kujupathar village on May 4, 2018,” said the spokesperson.

Those arrested are Bubul Moran, Dipankar Borah and Mamun Dihingia (all residents of Tinsukia). Bijit Gogoi, Kanto Bora, Santosh Gogoi Sadiya and Jushinta Moran are absconding.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
