Six NLFT extremists surrendered to the Deputy Inspector General of Police, Intelligence
Six militants of the banned National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT) fled from their Bangladesh camps and surrendered to security officials in the state. They also deposited arms and ammunition including two Chinese rifles, police said.
This group of NLFT has been operationally very active across the fence in Bangladesh. They joined the NLFT outfit in between 2017 and 2022
Apart from the two Chinese rifles, they deposited a country-made sten gun, six live rounds of 70 mm ammunition, two Chinese grenades, and some ammunition.
The ultras also deposited some extortion notice books, and Bangladesh taka 1,000.
Police said that the six NLFT extremists surrendered to Deputy Inspector General of Police, Intelligence, Krishnendu Chakravertty in Agartala.
“The group of six having been cornered and getting motivated, renounced the path of bloodshed and made a choice of peace,” an official statement said.
So far, 36 active members of NLFT have surrendered before Tripura Police and security forces recently.
The statement said: “It will surely further pave the way for remaining fractions of NLFT to make a beeline for peace abjuring violence. It is definitely a committed effort by Tripura Police for ensuring the goal of law and order and development.”
The surrendered NLFT militants are Jatindra Tripura (36), Mokhiram Tripura (36), Pradip Tripura (27), Romawia Reang (50), Johanjoy Reang (36), and Mani Charan Tripura (38).
