Endeavours of the BSF jawans in motivating the insurgents of Tripura and other Northeast to shun the path of violence, once again, met success as four ultras of Tripura based and Manipur based outfits surrendered to the BSF Tripura on Wednesday.
Four insurgents of two banned outfits, including three from National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT) and the other from Kanglei Yawol Kanna Lup (KYKL), a Manipur-based outfit surrendered before BSF at Panisagar in North Tripura district on Wednesday, BSF officials said.
Three active insurgents NLFT, identified as self-styled Sepoy Suku Chandra Debbarma alias Swrang resident of Sonpara village in Mungaiyakami under Khowai district, cadres Deba Mohan Tripura alias Dompai and Pankhichan alias Bura both are resident of Wakhiram Roaja Para (East Gobindbari) village under Manikpur police station in Dhalai district have surrendered before BSF.
Besides, one active member of a Manipur based Outfit KYKL identified as Vidyananda alias Bomocha of Khurai Thangjam Leikai village under Porompat police station of Imphal (East) have surrendered before BSF in presence of Deputy Inspector General, Sector Headquarter BSF Panisagar- Rajiv Kumar Dua and other Senior BSF Officers and Media personnel.
During preliminary interrogation, Sepoy Suku Chandra Debbarma has confessed that he along with NLFT (BM) cadre Saruj Debbarma alias Usha Ranjan Debbarma alias Warai was directly involved in the killing of BSF personnel. Warai had surrendered before a special Branch of Tripura police and BSF on November 9 last.
They killed Inspector Bhuru Singh and Constable Raj Kumar as well as snatched their service weapons- one 7.62 mm AK-47 and one 9 mm SMG Berretta of BSF along with Magazines and Live Ammunitions, near Indo-Bangladesh International Boundary in the area of responsibility of BOP RC Nath, 64 Bn BSF in early hours of August 03 last.
Hence, Suku Chandra Debbarma has been handed over to Manikpur Police Station in Dhalai district for further investigation and necessary course of legal action as per the FIR lodged in the said case.
Officials and Jawans of BSF Tripura are not only encouraging active insurgents of NLFT (BM) Outfit but also motivating Cadres of other Insurgent Groups of the North East Region of India particularly Kanglei Yawol Kanna Lup (KYKL), a Meitei tribal Outfit of Manipur.
With the sustained efforts, all such insurgents are becoming disillusioned from the insurgency activities and showing their determination to join the mainstream.
