Assam Police, in collaboration with security forces, achieved a significant breakthrough in their efforts to combat illegal arms trade within the state with the arrest of Dhan Bora, a former member of the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA), on suspicion of arms trafficking.
The arrest unfolded in Doomdooma, situated in the Tinsukia district, following a meticulously planned operation prompted by actionable intelligence. Acting swiftly on a tip-off, security forces initiated a late-night search operation that commenced at the Doomdooma bridge and culminated at Bora’s residence in Kordoiguri Borgorah, Doomdooma, where he was apprehended without incident.
During the raid, law enforcement officials uncovered incriminating evidence in Bora’s possession, including an American pistol and 12 rounds of live ammunition. This seizure underscores the grave threat posed by the proliferation of illegal weapons in the region and the urgent need to curtail arms trafficking activities.
Authorities view Dhan Bora’s arrest as a significant milestone in their ongoing battle against the unlawful trade of firearms and ammunition within Assam. This decisive crackdown reflects the unwavering commitment of Assam Police to uphold law and order and ensure the safety and security of the state’s residents.
As investigations into Bora’s activities continue, law enforcement agencies are diligently working to ascertain the full extent of his involvement in arms trafficking and to identify any potential accomplices or networks operating in conjunction with him. The outcome of these inquiries is poised to shed light on the broader implications of his illicit activities and pave the way for further measures to dismantle such networks and prevent future incidents of arms smuggling.
