Ulfa-I executes cadre for 'bid to surrender' and spying

GUWAHATI: The Ulfa (I) on Wednesday said it executed one of its cadres after its court found him guilty of trying to escape during special operations in a bid to surrender. He has also been accused of spying for the outfit's enemies.
According to a statement issued by the Ulfa (I), Rihan Asom alias Saiful Islam had made three abortive attempts to flee a camp in Myanmar in the last one month. Rihan, son of Kalim Uddin Mandal, hailed from Bauratal village under the Lakhipur police station in Assam's Goalpara district.
Earlier on May 7, the banned outfit had issued a statement saying two of its newly recruited cadres, Dhanjit Das of Barpeta and Sanjib Sarma of Baihata Chairali, were executed "for spying against the outfit at the behest of the state police." t
