The anti-talk faction of the Ulfa, led by its commander-in-chief Paresh Baruah on Wednesday executed one of its senior leaders after he was found involved in several anti-outfit activities.
A statement issued by Ulfa faction’s assistant publicity secretary Arunodoi Asom informed his on Wednesday. It said that there were eight major allegations against the executed leader, Partha Asom alias Partha Pratim Gogoi. Gogoi was the assistant finance secretary of the outfit and also operational commander of the outfit’s eastern are command, the statement said.
“The allegations against him included, killing the outfit’s cadres by having secret pact with the officials of Assam Police and Assam Rifles and forcing the cadres to surrender to police and security forces for money,” the statement said.
“Besides, the leader also helped the Assam Police in intercepting its arms consignment in the past,” the statement said, adding that he had also been leaking the plans and strategic planning of the outfit to police and security forces in advance.
“Gogoi was supposed to surrender to the Assam Police on January 26 this year. He had also accepted an advance amount of `1 crore from Assam Police for supplying satellite imagery of the outfit’s secret camps,” the statement said adding that he was executed today after all the allegations were proved with documentary evidence.
In the month of November last year, outfit’s commander-in-chief Paresh Baruh had ordered execution of seven cadres for trying to flee their base in Myanmar. Two cadres, however, managed to flee the camps and surrendered to police.
Senior Assam police officials had confirmed the execution of the seven cadres and said that Baruah had done that to send a strong message to others in the camps and also to prevent them from taking a similar step.
