One Kali Biswas (50), who was abducted from near Songsak a few days ago, was found killed, allegedly by the Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA) cadres, on January 12, reports The Assam Tribune. The body of Biswas was later recovered a little further away from the spot where an exchange of fire between the Police and the militants had taken place on the same day. Biswas, a ginger trader by profession and a resident of Krishnai, was abducted by GNLA militants on January 4 from Nangapa, a few kilometres from Songsak in East Garo Hills District. Though no First Information Report (FIR) was filed by the family of the victim, Police had been on the job to rescue the trader from the clutches of the militants. Police believe the abduction was carried out by GNLA ‘secondincommand’ (East Garo Hills) Pangkam, who reports to Jimmy (Ajan Ch Momin), prime suspect in the Williamnagar blast on January 9. Family sources said that the militants had been demanding INR 500,000 as ransom for the release of Biswas. The family was, however, able to garner only INR 150,000, which the outfit was not willing to accept and had threatened to kill Biswas if their demand was not met soon. Police sources said that Biswas had been shot in the head with a single bullet.

The ‘commander-in-chief’ of one of the splinter groups of the Liberation of A’chik Elite Force (LAEF) was killed in an encounter with Police in Rongjeng forest in East Garo Hills District on April 13, reports The Shillong Times. Police launched an operation in the forests of Chichra village under Rongjeng Police Station in the night of April 12, and came across a group of armed LAEF militants during early Wednesday (April 13) morning. The militants numbering 10-12 and led by their militant chief Augustine Marak exchanged fire with the Police teams leading to a 45 minute encounter, informed Police officials. In the gun battle the militant chief was shot dead and another cadre identified as Walsrang N Areng hailing from Chichra Apal village was arrested. The rest of the militants fled from the scene. A search of the encounter site led to the recovery of an AK-47 rifle along with 72 live rounds and three mobile phones and SIM cards. The deceased militant leader hailed from Kamrup district of Assam and was married to a local from Rongjeng area. He was part of the original LAEF outfit currently headed by one Mathew Marak of Bakrapur village but split and formed his own team to operate in the Rongjeng-Songsak-Mangsang region.The LAEF faction headed by Mathew Marak is believed to have the largest share of armaments including AK rifles and also a Rocket Propelled Grenade (RPG) launcher, as per previous confessions of arrested LAEF members. Mathew’s LAEF faction is known to operate in the Dainadubi-Mendipathar-Damas-Kharkutta region of North Garo Hills. Most of the cadres from both factions of LAEF are said to be recruits from Garo dominated villages of Assam and Dimapur (Nagaland). Due to the long standing agreement between the founder of LAEF, Peter Marak, and the Khaplang faction of National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN-K) from Nagaland, the Garo militants were provided training in the jungles of Myanmar where the NSCN-K run their camps.
