Tamulpur Police arrested three linkmen of the IK Songbijit faction of the National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB-IKS), identified as Mithinga Narzary alias Naga (20), Amit Boro (29) and Ajoy Boro (20) at Tamulpur in Baksa District on December 1, reports The Sentinel. The three are believed to have provided vital information on the massacre of Adivasis by the outfit last year (2014) in Bodoland Territorial Area District (BTAD) and Sonitpur District. “We are interrogating them, but cannot share any detail yet,” said a Police official. The arrested linkmen were involved in extortion cases in the area. Tamulpur Sub-Divisional Police Officer (SDPO) Asif Ahmed said that detained Mithinga worked for the Ranjan Daimary faction of NDFB (NDFB-RD) prior to come into contact with the IK Songbijit faction.

Even as the Independent faction of United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA-I) continued to draw flak from the Hindi speaking people of the state for Monday's (November 30) attack in Namrup, Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi on December 2 said that the outfit has targeted people from all communities in the past, reports The Times of India. "Should we forget how Ulfa killed all those children in Dhemaji? Ulfa has killed so many innocent people, irrespective of the languages they spoke. They target Assamese-speaking people less because they believe that would go against them," Gogoi said. The Chief Minister said that with ULFA ‘general secretary’ Anup Chetia now in jail, the outfit has become weak. It has also hit Paresh Baruah, who is now taking the help of Khaplang. The All Assam Bhojpuri Parishad (AABP) in West Karbi Anglong District committee condemned the attack on Hindi-speaking persons in Namrup in Dibrugarh District on November 30, reports The Sentinel on December 2. AABP District secretary Pankaj Chauhan said in a statement, “We condemn the incident. It is anti-people and such incidents create disturbance. We fear the repetition of such incidents in the Karbi Anglong Autonomous Council and its nearby areas. Taking this into account, we demand more security forces in these areas.”

Nagaland-based militant outfits have warned the residents of Leike Village in Dima Hasao District of Assam near inter-state border to vacate the place, reports The Times of India on December 6. The threat call happened last week has created a sense of fear in the area, dominated by the Kukis. A Haflong-based Assam Rifles (AR) spokesman on December 5 said the act of the suspected National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN) militants was aimed at disturbing the peace and inter-community harmony in the hill district of Assam. He said the Kuki village of Leike was being re-established with help from the neighbouring Naga villages. It was working to bring back peace and was witnessing a growing inter-community harmony in Dima Hasao. However, this return to normality has been threatened by terrorists from across the state boundaries of Assam.

According to the latest Home Department report, frequent abductions have become commonplace for people living along the Assam-Meghalaya border, reports The Times of India on December 15. The Goalpara and South Salmara Police Districts have together recorded 187 cases of abduction since the beginning of this year (2015). While Goalpara District has recorded 138 cases, South Salmara has recorded 49 incidents of kidnapping. Dhubri District, too, has recorded more than 10 such cases this year. The Assam Government has already urged Meghalaya to take proactive steps to curb criminal activities along the interstate border. Meetings have been held between civil and Police forces of districts on either side of the Assam-Meghalaya border, sources said. The safety of the general public, especially traders from Assam who frequently travel to Meghalaya, has been discussed. Though most of the abductions have been carried out by miscreants, the Home Department records do not rule out the role of militant outfits of the region in some of the incidents. Sources said rebel groups like ULFA-I, IK Songbijit faction of the National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB-IKS), Kamatapur Liberation Organization (KLO) and Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) are active along the bordering areas of Assam and Meghalaya. The ULFA-I's 109 battalion is active in the area, as are Garo militants. The Home Department has also asked Assam Police to maintain a separate record of militancy-related incidents in Goalpara. "From the beginning of 2005 till the end of October this year, there have been at least 88 incidents of militancy-related violence in Goalpara in which some 101 people, including civilians, security forces and militants, have died," a senior Police officer said.

Assam Police and Crime Investigation Department (CID) have claimed that there is mounting evidence that JMB (Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh) was colluding with several northern part of West Bengal and north-east based terror groups, The Times of India reports on December 16. The most important evidence in this regard reportedly has landed with Assam Police which claim it has telephonic intercepts that say jihadis are in touch with Pakistan-sponsored terror groups. Earlier on December 14, Bangladesh Information Minister Hasanul Haq Inu said the National Investigation Agency's (NIA) revelation on JMB’s activities in India, strengthens the Bangladesh government's claim on the recent rise in terror modules in the country. "These modules are likely to be patronized by forces in Pakistan," he said. The NIA has warned that JMB was preparing for fidayeen (suicide) attacks and that after spreading wings in border Districts and Bardhaman, they were eyeing fresh recruits from further south of Bengal like South 24-Parganas. The NIA had dealt with the "Pakistan" angle earlier too. “A laptop seized from Malda District, that Burdwan blast accused Zia-ul-Haque had tried to conceal with his brother after the blast, is a major evidence. The forensic examination of this laptop and a pen drive recovered from his possession revealed that these contained several videos inciting communal hatred, lectures by leaders of Pakistan-based terrorists urging action against India, terrorist strikes in the name of Jihad and terrorist-training material. This laptop was procured by another accused, Sahanur Alom, from a school student in Assam thereby establishing the association between Haque and Alom as partners in the conspiracy," the NIA chargesheet stated.

The Assam Government advocated the involvement of United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) ‘general secretary’ Anup Chetia in the on-going peace process, stressing on expediting the ongoing talks with all the militant groups for bringing a lasting solution of the problem of militancy in the State, reports The Assam Tribune on December 16. The Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi said that as ULFA ‘general secretary’, Anup Chetia is an important figure in the context of peace talks, the Government of Assam had all along been pursuing with the Centre for repatriation of Chetia. Now, since he had been finally brought to the country, State Government feel that he should be associated with the ongoing peace talks between the Government and the Pro-Talk faction of ULFA (ULFA-PTF). The Chief Minister made this plea when he met the Prime Minister Narendra Modi on December 16 at his Parliament House Office. The Chief Minister also discussed about the security scenario with the Prime Minister during the South Asian Federation (SAF) Games in Guwahati.

The Global Terrorism Index 2015 stated that Assam witnessed 25 per cent of the terror attacks carried out in the country last year (2014), reports The Telegraph on December 16. Massacres by the IK Songbijit faction of the National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB-IKS) figure prominently in the report. The index, prepared by the Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP), an international non-governmental organization (NGO), and released recently, said of the 416 deaths in 763 terror incidents in India, 106 took place in Assam. "India's Northeast region has, for the last three decades, seen continual ethno-political unrest from ethnic secessionist movements. The NDFB-IKS, which killed seven people in 2013 and 80 in 2014, was the second deadliest group in India in 2014 (CPI-Maoist being the worst). Assam recorded 106 deaths in 2014 which is 25 per cent of the total deaths (in India)," the report said. The report, titled ‘Peace Measuring and Understanding the Impact of Terrorism’, the third such index released, provided a comprehensive summary of the key global trends and patterns in terrorism. The NDFB-IKS was held responsible for rampant abductions, extortions and attacks in the Bodoland Territorial Areas District (BTAD) and neighbouring Sonitpur District till 2014 but the number of such attacks has come down since Security Forces (SFs) launched an operation in December 2014. Although the report said the outfit killed 80 persons in 2014, Assam Police said the number was more as the NDFB-IKS was responsible for the massacre of 46 minorities in Baksa and Kokrajhar Districts in May and 66 Adivasis in Kokrajhar, Chirang and Sonitpur Districts in December. It killed many others in Chirang, Baksa and Sonitpur Districts last year (2014).

Spiritual guru Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, who is in Guwahati for a discourse, used the opportunity to talk to Independent faction of United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA-I) ‘commander-in-chief’ Paresh Baruah on telephone and try to convince him for joining the dialogue with the centre on December 17, reports The Times of India. The 45-minute telephonic discussion ended without any result as Baruah refused to talk with the Government without "Assam's sovereignty" as the core issue of discussion. The 'mediator' through whom the spiritual guru and Baruah had the talk said that Ravi Shankar tried to convince the ULFA-I leader to come to the peace talks but Baruah wanted that he would join only if the Government talks only on the issue of 'Assam's sovereignty.' Baruah is believed to be located either in Ruili city of Yunan province of China or Myanmar, from where he made the call. This is the third time Ravi Shankar had talked to Baruah—the first being in 2005 and then last year (2014).

Though one year has elapsed since Assam witnessed one of the most gruesome killings, the incident remains one of the turning points in the history of militancy in Assam as sustained operations, closely monitored by the Government of India, are still continuing, while the National Investigation Agency (NIA) is also investigating into the cases registered in connection with the killings, reports The Assam Tribune on December 23. More than 69 persons, including women and children were killed by NDFB-IKS militants on December 23 last year (2014) in separate attacks. The Centre took serious note of the attacks and launched an all-out offensive against the militants involved. For the first time such sustained operations, monitored closely by the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA), is on for a year, which has virtually broken the backbone of the militant outfit. Security sources pointed out that all the forces engaged in the operation have to send weekly reports to the Home Ministry, while the synergy between the forces involved on the ground and the intelligence agencies also improved. The Home Ministry also made it clear that there would be no talk with the militants involved in killing women and children. The sustained operations led to the killing of 23 militants belonging to the NDFB-IKS, while around 240 others were arrested. More than 300 couriers of the militants were also arrested, which cut the supply lines and led to more arrests, adds the report. However, several senior members of the outfit including G Bidai, who reportedly masterminded the December 23 attacks, are still at large. The NIA registered five cases in connection with the killings and senior officers of the Agency including its director visited the scenes of crime. The NIA has so far arrested 43 militants for their involvement in the killings and chargesheets were filed against most of the arrested militants. Official sources said that further investigations are on but the NIA decided to file chargesheets against those already arrested so that they are not bailed out because of the delay in filing of chargesheets. Sources said the forensic tests confirmed that the weapons recovered by the NIA were used by the ultras to launch their gruesome attacks. Meanwhile, Bodoland Students’ Union (BSU), Kokrajhar District committee on December 23 took out massive rally against the NDFB-IKS for the massacre of over 69 Adivasi people on the eve of Christmas on December 23, 2014 in Kokrajhar and Sonitpur which left over a lakh homeless in the backlash, reports The Sentinel.

United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) ‘founder general secretary’ Anup Chetia was on December 24 released from Guwahati Central Jail, a development which pro-talks leaders of the outfit termed as "significant" for the ongoing peace talks, reports The Telegraph. Chetia was granted bail in a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) case on December 23 and three other cases, two of which were under Terrorist and Disruptive Activities [Prevention] Act (TADA), earlier. The court, however, asked him not to leave the state without informing it. "I am speechless. I can't find words to express my feelings," were the first words that Anup Chetia said after he came out from jail, adds The Telegraph. "I am out of jail, finally, after 18 years and three days," he said. Sounding overwhelmed, Chetia said that jail life was not easy. "It is both a physical and a mental ordeal. You lose your democratic rights, your personal liberty and have to live a life that the authorities want you to live," he said.

The Forum for Terrorist Victims' Family, Assam (FTVFA) - an organization floated by family members of all the victims of terrorist attacks in Assam - urged the Government to adopt strict measures against the ULFA leader like any other criminal. "Nothing can compensate what we have lost. What ULFA has got by doing all these activities by killing the future generation? Even ULFA chairman Arabinda Rajkhowa and others came to our home seeking an apology. As human beings, they can come anytime but we cannot forgive them," said Padmeswar Borgohain, who lost her daughter in the Dhemaji blast in 2004.
