Assam Police Arrest ULFA-I Linkman
The Assam Police has arrested a man for allegedly working as a linkman for the banned militant group ULFA-I, officials said on Wednesday. The accused has been identified as Supritam Kaur and taken into custody by security personnel from Dimapur. Police say the accused had actively provided vital information to ULFA-I and has links with the banned NSCN group. A senior police official said, "Kaur has been actively involved in supplying key information to ULFA-I. He has links with another outlawed group NSCN also. The person has been interrogated to unearth further links with the banned outfits." Recently, the NIA arrested two more accused in connection with the recovery of an IED planted by the ULFA-I terror group at Dispur Last Gate, Guwahati, as part of a conspiracy to carry out multiple blasts in Assam on Independence Day in 2024. Bhargob Gogoi and Sumu Gogoi, both residents of Dibrugarh district of Assam, were involved in the conspiracy orchestrated by the proscribed terrorist organisation to strike terror and threaten the sovereignty, security, and integrity of the nation, said the National Investigation Agency (NIA). With their arrest, the total number of accused arrested in the conspiracy case has gone up to three. The NIA, which took over the investigation into the case from Dispur police in September last year, had last month charge-sheeted three accused in the case under various sections of the BNS, UA(P) Act and the Explosives Substance Act. The three charge-sheeted accused included Paresh Baruah alias Paresh Asom alias Kamruj Zaman Khan alias Nur-uz-Zaman alias Zaman Bhai alias Pradip alias Paban Baruah, chairman and SS Commander-in-Chief of the proscribed terrorist groups ULFA-I. The other two accused named in the charge sheet were Abhijit Gogoi alias Abhijeet Gogoi alias Aishang Asom alias Aishang alias Aishang Axom alias Rumel Asom alias Dhanajoy Moran and Jahnu Boruah alias Arnob Asom alias Huntu. Earlier in the month, ULFA-I claimed that its Eastern headquarters in Myanmar had been targeted by the Indian Army with drones in the early hours – a claim denied by the Army. The proscribed outfit in a press statement claimed that in these cross-border strikes, their 19 cadres were killed and another 19 were injured.

According to NIA's investigation, the terror-gangster syndicate is actively involved in extorting money, raising funds, procuring explosives and arms & ammunition, and promoting terror amongst common people to threaten the integrity, security (including economic security) and sovereignty of the country. NIA's first chargesheet is against five accused, including designated terrorist Satinderjit Singh aka Goldy Brar, Sachin Taliyan, the man who detonated the crude bombs and was nabbed from the spot, and two other aides named Ankit and Bhawish. NIA has also named Brar's close aide and US-based gangster Randeep Singh alias Malik, who was also involved in the case of murder of businessman Nadir Shah in south Delhi last year.

There were no casualties in the incident. A scooter was charred and a bar's signboard was damaged in the detonation, which was carried out at 5.15am. Taliyan was found in an inebriated state. He planned to throw more 'sutli bombs' two more but was nabbed by police. Brar had gone to Canada on a student visa in 2017 and got involved in the gang's operation. After his cousin Gurlal was killed outside a nightclub in Chandigarh in 2020, he rose through the ranks due to his proximity with Lawrence Bishnoi and began targeting his rivals aggressively. Brar, who is accused of orchestrating the killing of Punjabi pop singer Sidhu Moosewala in 2022, remained in Canada till 2023 but then fled to America. Sources said that he used a fake identity to enter the US territory that year as the Canadian Police escalated its crackdown on Indian gangs and Brar feared retaliation from his rivals. Last year in June, the NIA had announced a reward of Rs 10 lakh for Brar and his associate Gurpreet Rajpura in the case of extortion and firing at the house of a businessman in Chandigarh.

New Delhi: Canada-based terrorist Goldy Brar and four others were named in a chargesheet filed by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in a Special Court over twin grenade attacks on clubs in Gurugram last year, an official said on Saturday. The NIA has charged Satinderjit Singh alias Goldy Brar, along with Sachin Taliyan, Ankit, Bhawish and US-based Randeep Singh alias Randeep Malik, under various Sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), Arms Act, Explosives Substance Act, and Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act. Barring Brar and Malik, all others have been arrested in the case, the NIA said. Brar is wanted in India for more than three dozen cases, including the killing of singer Sidhu Moosewala. The anti-terror agency's investigations into the twin grenade attacks found that the accused were involved in the conspiracy to target Warehouse Club and Human Club in Sector-29, Gurugram with bombs. The bomb attacks on the clubs were part of the Babbar Khalsa International's (BKI) larger conspiracy to spread communal disharmony and disrupt peace in Haryana and neighbouring regions by unleashing violence. The attack, perpetrated by members and cadres of the proscribed BKI terror outfit, took place on December 10, 2024.

In April, the NIA searched multiple locations, linked with Goldy Brar, across the northern states of Haryana and Uttar Pradesh. The teams conducted searches at the premises belonging to suspects and accused associated with Goldy Brar and US-based gangster Randeep Malik in the case RC- 01/2025/NIA/DLI. Several electronic and other incriminating materials were recovered during the searches conducted at eight locations in various districts of the two states. Soon after the grenade attack, gangster Rohit Godara had taken responsibility through a social media post. Subsequent investigations by the NIA had exposed Malik and Brar, who had earlier threatened and attempted to extort money from the club owners, to have masterminded the grenade attacks.
