DHEMAJI, July 17 - A dreaded robber, Gerjai Boruah (40) of Dhakuakhana Bhati Jalbhari Gaon under Dhakuakhana Police Station, was nabbed by the Dhakuakhana Police on Wednesday.
Following a tip-off, a police team in civvies, led by sub-inspector Ramcharan Rabha, apprehended the robber from near Ghilamara Moinapara Gaon while he was crossing a stream on a boat. According to police sources, Boruah had been creating terror in the entire Dhakuakhana subdivision, particularly in the greater Jalbhari, Karhaghat and Sonari Chapori areas.
The arrested robber, who had earlier completed a jail term of eight years for involvement in several theft and robbery cases, came out of jail only a year back. But soon after his release, he allegedly resumed his illegal activities in the area.
