They said that they had their arms training in CHT of Bangladesh few years back, but at present, movement there has become very tough. They added that most of them were forced to join the false arms struggle for an independent Tripura for the tribal, never to realize.
They hinted that many more cadres are waiting for the right time and scope to surrender.
DIG Singh said that the surrender was a joint effort of the CRPF and the 15 battalion of Assam Rifles (AR). He urged other underground militants to come out and join the national mainstream, and assured them that government shall ensure rehabilitation package.
