New Delhi, Nov 11: United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) leader Anup Chetia alias Golap Baruah was handed over to the CBI by the Bangladesh government on Wednesday.
The initiative has been taken after the intervention of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Chetia was lodged in Dhaka for the last 17 years and India was trying to get his custody for over ten years.
He will be brought to India soon but it is still unclear whether he will be handed over to the probe agencies in Guwahati or in Delhi.
Former CBI director Shantonu Sen said, “Chetia was wanted for a long time and I think our National Security Advisor (NSA) has taken up all the long pending crucial custody of wanted terrorists.
