Sources in the agency said Roy had claimed to be GCLO chief and their stated objective was the formation of the state of Kamptapur/Greater Coochbehar through an “armed rebellion”.
The CID on Saturday arrested four persons from Naxalbari for allegedly forming a new terror group called the Greater Coochbehar Liberation Organisation (GCLO).
“A few days ago, one Nirmal Roy of Assam had published on Facebook and YouTube that he had initiated a new terrorist group, the Greater Coochbehar Liberation Organisation. The CID started keeping track and used a decoy to invite him for a meeting. Today, the agency arrested four persons in connection with the case,” said DIG (CID-Operations) Nishat Parvez.
Sources in the agency said Roy had claimed to be GCLO chief and their stated objective was the formation of the state of Kamptapur/Greater Coochbehar through an “armed rebellion”. Roy had called for a bandh on July 31, and also declared that there would be “blasts” on railway tracks and in government offices before August 28.
