: A Kamptapuri Liberation organisation (KLO) militant and a Bodo militant have been arrested in separate raids from Jalpaiguri district of West Bengal, Superintendent of Police S N Gupta said on Monday.
Gupta said, the Bodo militant Bakul Brahma was arrested from near Sankosh tea garden in Kumargram on Sunday. Brahma, a resident of Darang district in Assam, had taken shelter in Bhutan since 1999 and had also been trained in a camp there. The police authorities here have contacted their Assam counterparts for handing over Brahma to them.
KLO activist Tinku Paul, the mastermind of the attack on a Dhupguri school in August 2000, was arrested from Kranti on Sunday.
In a separate incident two dacoits were arrested from Banarhat. Two pipe guns and four bombs were recovered from their possession on Sunday night. Five others, however, escaped, Gupta said. Bureau Report
