November 18th, 2011 - 8:31 pm ICT by IANSShillong, Nov 18 (IANS) A Bangladeshi linkman of the outlawed United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) was arrested in Meghalaya’s West Garo Hills district when he sneaked into India from the neighbouring country, an official said Friday.
“Prominson Sangma was arrested late Thursday night from Purakhasia in West Garo Hills bordering Bangladesh,” Border Security Force (BSF) spokesman Ravi Gandhi said.
