A government press release, said the main culprit who had perpetrated the serial blast was identified and all efforts are being made to nab him. “There has been significant progress with respect to serial blast probe. Involvement of some active members of NDFB has come to the light during the course of investigation by SIT,” the release said.

Designated camps of NDFB in four districts of Bodoland Territorial Autonomous District were cordoned off by security forces on Monday. NDFB’s designated camp at Borbori in Baska district where also cordoned off.

NDFB cadres resisted when security force wanted to search the camps. The Assam government was in touch with the NDFB leaderships to allow search operations inside the camp as the prime suspects of blasts was suspected to be hiding in the camp.
