Security Forces arrested three person linked to Karbi People's Liberation Tigers (KPLT), an area commander and two linkmen, in Karbi Anglong on February 1, reports The Shillong Times. The arrested trio was identified as Munthir Engti, ‘area commander’ of KPLT, while the linkmen were identified as Horen Teron and David Engti. Further, SFs have also arrested more than 60 per cent cadres of the KPLT, reports The Telegraph. Further, many small militant groups are operating in the Hill District and these groups are involved in a number of extortion cases."Some of these small groups were formed by former members of UPDS [United People’s Democratic Solidarity] or KLNLF [Karbi Longri North Cachar Hills Liberation Front] while some were recruited later. We have managed to arrest 66 KPLT cadres while 11 were killed in encounters in the past year. About 50 cadres are still at large, mostly in eastern part of the district and Hamren (a separate police district in Karbi Anglong). But the KPLT now has been split into five groups - KPLT (Buche group), KPLT (Pratap), KPLT (Donri), KPLT (Symbon) and KPLT (Sojong). Some of these groups have six-seven members," Karbi Anglong Superintendent of Police Mugdha Jyoti Mahanta said. "Earlier there were one or two groups which used to collect money from the rich. But now there are so many groups that they don't even spare people like us. So, we prefer to avoid unknown numbers unless we receive a text message from the person," said a state government employee in Karbi Anglong, requesting anonymity. "In some cases, cadres were found making calls to Government officials and businessmen for money after their leaders were arrested and sent to jail," another source said.

The Army and SFs, fearing human casualty, are yet to go full throttle against top NDFB-IKS ‘army chief’, B Bidai who ordered the massacre of Adivasi villagers on December 23, 2014 reports The Times of India on February 5. Authorities of Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) fear that a final assault by the Army in these areas could result in the killing of civilians. An unnamed source stated, "These areas are populated and we do not have information about Bidai's exact location. We do not want to rush in forces”. According to a senior Army official, only a handful of the outfit's cadres are left but tracking them down is proving to be a challenge.

National Investigating Agency (NIA), which is probing several cases in Assam in connection with terrorism by Jammat-ul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB), has traced terror links to Pakistan, reports The Times of India on February 16. NIA sources said JMB is spreading across the region with funding from Inter Services Intelligence (ISI). A source stated that "Top Muslim United Liberation Tigers of Assam (MULTA) ‘leader’ Abdur Rahman, who had fled Assam, was traced to Karachi. The ISI helped him to flee the country as they wanted Rahman to command operations in the region from there without any risk”. The source also added that MULTA and the ISI have been working together to create disturbance in the region. "Rahman was once caught from the Chapori area in Dhubri district in 2009. But he managed to escape. Pakistan appears to be intentionally propping up MULTA so that fundamentalist forces here can be aided. Abdur Rahman is also believed to have close links with the United Liberation Front of Asom - Independent (ULFA-I), which also shares a history of nexus with the ISI.

Centre has sought a detailed report from the State Government over the reports of encroachment on the reserve forests posing a threat to the law and order situation in the State, reports The Assam Tribune on March 1. The Centre has also expressed concern over the encroachment on the tribal belts and blocks in the State. It may be mentioned here that the Government of India became concerned over the encroachment on the reserved forests after the killing of more than 69 persons on December 23, 2014. Security sources admitted that the most of the killings took place in the notified forest areas, while the militants involved in the attacks also took shelter in the forests that are now under encroachment. Interestingly, the Government is not in a position to construct permanent Police Stations or roads in the areas notified as reserved forests and the militants are taking full advantage of the situation to take shelter among the encroachers.
