Sanjoy Ghose murder accused arrested

Hatimota was among 11 ULFA militants named in a CBI chargesheet filed before the special court here on June 16,1999.

Ghose,secretary of well-known NGO called AVARD-NE,was working on a rural development project in Majuli island for a couple of years when he apparently invited the wrath of a militant-contractor nexus that was allegedly involved in siphoning off funds meant for developmental works in the river island.

Jorhat SP Parasar said Hatimota,who belonged to the river island where Ghose was abducted and murdered in July 4,1997,had arrived in his village a few days back when the police tracked him and arrested him. “There is however no new significant crimes in which he was involved in the recent time,” Parasar said. Of the 11 militants the CBI named in its chargesheet,five were killed in encounters with security forces. Two militants are serving life sentences while three others — including ULFA’s armed wing chief Paresh Barua — are still absconding.
