In a joint operation conducted by Assam Rifles of the Indian Army and Jairampur police, nine cadres of the National Democratic Front of Bodoland (Songbijit) [NDFB (S)] were arrested on Sunday night from the Assam-Arunachal Pradesh border.
As per the reports, the group was busted while infiltrating into India from their training camp in Myanmar. All nine cadres were nabbed in an ambush on their infiltration route.
