Three militants of the banned National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT) surrendered before the Police in North Tripura District of Tripura on September 16, reports East Mojo. Police said, during interrogation, the three militants identified as Alindra Reang (25), Anida Reang (35) and Drawkumar Reang (30), residents of different villages under Ananda Bazar Police Station limits in North Tripura District, said that acute scarcity of food and money has forced them to flee from their base camps in neighbouring Bangladesh and surrender. The militants told the Police that they joined the militant outfit in 2019 and underwent training at its camps in Bangladesh, and were involved in extortion activities in the interior areas of the State. “They suffered hardship of jungle life and got frustrated with the ill behaviour of their so-called leaders, who enjoy luxurious lives in Bangladesh and Myanmar,” a Police official said. NLFT was banned in 1997.
