Jihadis enter Upper Assam to disrupt poll

Dibrugarh (Assam), March 30: The police on Monday claimed
that a group of Jihadis had entered Upper Assam with the help
of local extremist organisations to disrupt poll campaign.

The Jihadi ultras had entered Upper Assam through Myanmar
and neighbouring Nagaland`s Mon district, Superintendent of
Police, Dibrugarh, Abhijeet Bora said.

He claimed that there were `specific intelligence inputs`
about the entry of the extremists.

Bora said ULFA`s `Bravo` company had possibly helped the
Jihadis to enter the area as the `Alpha` and `Charlie` unit of
the outfit were on ceasefire.

The police, he said, have started search operations in
suspected militant hideouts to find out the jihadis.
