Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi said that the probe into the October 30 serial blasts in Assam has established the involvement of the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) and the National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB). During a press conference, he said, "We have evidence up to the level of ULFA ‘commander-in-chief’ Paresh Baruah and NDFB ‘supremo’ Ranjan Daimary. But to get to the real brains behind the blasts, we need Central assistance, as we cannot go to the neighbouring countries where the ULFA and NDFB are having bases." Gogoi further said that the State’s militant outfits operating from Bangladesh, Pakistan and Myanmar had become "pawns in the hands of the Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami (HuJI), Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and other forces" inimical to the State’s and country’s interests.

On December 15, 2008, the National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB), held its general assembly meeting at Serfanguri designated camp in Kokrajhar District and elected B. Sungthagra alias Dhiren Boro as the new ‘president’ of the outfit, reports Telegraph. B. Sungthagra was previously the ‘vice-president’ of the outfit. He had been arrested in Gangtok, capital of the State of Sikkim, on January 1, 2003 and was later released in 2008. He replaced Ranjan Daimary alias D. R. Nabla, who is based in Bangladesh. While security agencies described the election as a split in the outfit, NDFB sources denied any such development. Meanwhile, the report quoted some sources as saying that the October 30 serial bomb blasts were triggered by the NDFB cadres at the behest of Ranjan Daimary by keeping the local leadership out of the loop. The report further added that December 15 general assembly meeting of the outfit was held for the first time since the one held in Bhutan in 2001. The meeting was chaired by NDFB ‘speaker’ B. Benga and was attended by top leaders, including the outfit’s ‘general secretary’ Govinda Basumatary. Further, the newly elected ‘president’ said the outfit would "directly or indirectly" take part in the next Lok Sabha (Lower House of Parliament) elections. "We are ready to start talks with the Centre and are committed to peace," he added.

Telegraph quoting the Security Forces (SFs) reported on December 22 that some cadres of the ‘A’ and ‘C’ companies of the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA)’s ‘28th battalion’ had gone “missing” from their designated camps in upper Assam. SF sources said they were perturbed over the development accompanied by reports that these cadres may have actually returned to the outfit after remaining silent for the past six months. The ‘28th battalion’ had earlier declared a unilateral cease-fire in June 2008. According to official records, there are 133 cadres belonging to the ‘A’ and the ‘C’ company of the ‘28th battalion’ of the ULFA lodged in the four Government-run designated camps at Sadiya, Kakopathar, Moran and Nalbari. But the source said the recent head counts revealed that a few cadres were missing from the camps. A leader of the pro-peace group, Jiten Dutta, while accepting that some amount of frustration is bound to creep in among a section of the cadres, denied that some of them have fled and re-joined the outfit. A central intelligence official based in upper Assam said, “Some other cadres, too, are planning to return to the outfit frustrated over the slow progress of the peace process.” Inputs from local sources indicated that the outfit has begun a fresh recruitment in all the three upper Assam Districts of Sivasagar, Jorhat and Golaghat. There are also some attempts to recruit fresh members from Tinsukia and Dibrugarh Districts and from Dhemaji and Lakhimpur Districts. Simultaneously, the outfit has also started extortion once again, the official added.

Superintendent of Police in the Goalpara District, Akhilesh Singh, said the duo was among six persons arrested on December 27 in connection with an extortion case from Soulmari of the same District. Singh said interrogation of the arrested persons led to the revelation that Aghai Basumatary, a ‘sergeant’, and Jayanti Brhama, a ‘sergeant majors’, were involved in the bomb blasts. “Aghai had actually assembled the bomb that was placed in Ganeshguri,” said Singh, adding that Jayanti was “indirectly” involved in the Kokrajhar and Barpeta Road bomb blasts. Aghai had confessed that the instructions to carry out the blasts had come from NDFB leader Ranjan Daimary with whom he was close, Singh said. Aghai told the Police that he was handed over the materials for making the bomb in Guwahati by another person. Aghai is an expert in handling explosives. Both Aghai and Jayanti had undergone training in Bangladesh and Bhutan, Singh added.
