Dawki (Meghalaya):
Two top ULFA leaders, who have fled Bangladesh following a crackdown by security forces there, have surrendered before the BSF in Tripura and will be handed over to Assam Police soon, a top BSF official said on Friday.
Self-styled ULFA Foreign Secretary Sashadhar Choudhury and Finance Secretary Chitraban Hazarika surrendered at Gokulnagar along the Indo-Bangla border in Tripura on the intervening night of November 4 and 5.
The two were reportedly trying to enter India when they were spotted by the BSF troops and asked to surrender, the official said.
Intelligence agencies said Bangladesh security agencies have raided some hideouts of leaders of the outfit this week, prompting the cadres to flee.
Internal clashes among ULFA cadres is also said to have forced some ultras to flee.
