Border Security Force (BSF) on Saturday night apprehended a Harkat-Ul-Jihad-Al Islami (HuJI) militant on the Indo-Bangladesh border as he was infiltrating into Dhubri district in western Assam. The HuJI militant was picked up from a person’s house in a village about two kms from the border, under Golokganj police station in Dhubri.

A spokesman of the BSF at its frontier headquarters in Shillong said the HuJI militant — identified as Abdul Salam alias Sahidul — had infiltrated into India with “some specific task” and that troops of the BSF laid an ambush after receiving specific information about it. He was picked up around 2 am.

“There have been several intelligence inputs regarding the movement of this person as well as other HuJI activists from the other side close to the international border for several months now. This time we managed to track him down after a well-laid plan, and picked him up from a person’s house near Golokganj,” the BSF spokesman said.
