Times of India reports that the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the West Bengal Police on July 16 night arrested a Pakistani national, suspected to be an agent of the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), from a hotel in Bagdogra on the outskirts of Siliguri town. Some documents and maps showing details of army installations in north Bengal were recovered from the arrested person identified as Abid Khan alias Samir Ahmed Sagar, who did not possess a passport. A Siliguri sub-divisional court later remanded him to 12 days' custody. Subsequent interrogation revealed that Abid is a resident of Keru village under Bhawan Langra post office in Pakistan's Punjab province. He had been to Suncheri in Nepal, from where he sneaked into India about a week ago via Kakarvitta in eastern Nepal's Jhapa district. During the past week, he visited several places in Jalpaiguri and Darjeeling, from where he probably obtained the documents, which had information on the Binnaguri cantonment and the Hasimara air base.

Five other arrested cadres of the UPLK have been identified as Chirom Iboyaima Singh, L. C. Deben Singh, Soram Tomba Singh, Koijam Ibomcha Singh. According to police sources, the arrested militants were present at the auction of old vehicles of the Border Road Task Force (BRTF) deployed in Manipur, to extort bidders from Manipur.

Additional Commissioner of Police Rajiv Kumar, who headed the STF, said, “A group of nearly 15 Manipuri militants had come to Kolkata in response to an open tender from the BRTF for auctioning old vehicles worth crores of rupees. The militants usually operate in two modules. The first actually participates in the bidding. The other waits on the sidelines for the bidding to finish and then extorts at least 20 per cent of the final bid amount from the bidders.” STF sources added that the militants were living mostly in Madhyamgram in North 24 Parganas near the Dum Dum Airport. Intelligence sources claimed that similar extortion modules existed in Shillong, where Assam Rifles auctions are held, New Delhi, where the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) deals relating to Manipur are finalised and Guwahati, the transit point to Manipur.
