AN ACTIVIST of the National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB), the pro talks separatist group in Assam, was shot dead by unidentified assailants in the Alokjhar video hall in Kachugaon, Gossaigaon on late night Monday, November 23.
The victim was identified as a ceasefire NDFB cadre, Daren Daimary, resident of Maktaigaon village, who was said to have lived at designated NDFB camp at Kumguri for the last four years. After he was injured by a bullet in his stomach, he was pursued by the assailants who gunned him down. His body was sent to the RNB Civil hospital, for a post mortem.
The group has charged the former Bodoland Liberation Army (BLA) members for the killing and has threatened them with retaliation, if such attacks continue. “An FIR was filed against Monoj Narzary alias Pakra of Nandipur at Kachugaon police station,” said M Mwthang, the commander of the Serfanguri Bodo camp.
The former BLT has denied any involvement in this case. Meanwhile the NDFB has declared a Bandh on Tuesday, November 24, in protest of the murder.
