By The Assam Tribune

Shillong, Nov 1 (IANS): The BSF on Wednesday arrested a Bangladeshi, suspected to be linked to the outlawed United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA), in Meghalaya after he sneaked into India from Bangladesh, an official said.

"Allauddin was arrested from Mahadev area in Meghalaya's South Garo Hills district," said Border Security Force (BSF) spokesman Ravi Gandhi.

Allauddin revealed that he had been facilitating the cross-border movement of ULFA cadres as a guide, he said.

Meghalaya shares a 443-km border with Bangladesh, part of which is porous, hilly, unfenced and prone to frequent infiltration.
