AGARTALA [Sinlung News]: As many as 18 militants of the Bru Liberation Front of Mizoram (BLFM) have surrendered before Assam Rifles jawans with arms in Kanchanpur of North Tripura.
Police here today said the team, led by self-styled commander N Branto, contacted the Assam Rifles (AR) for surrender on September seven.
Accordingly, the AR facilitated the surrender of the ultras yesterday.
During their surrender, the militants deposited US-made bolt action rifles, bolt action point 22 pistols and a huge amount of ammunition.
They were brought for interrogation in police cell.
The surrendered extremists revealed during the interrogation that they had been involved in several crimes, including killings and abductions, in different parts of the state over a past few years and their entire operation was based in Bangladesh, police said.
However, they lost all support which they had earlier after Bangladesh launched action against Indian insurgents in its territory, police added.
