The security personnel busted the recruitment module and apprehended seven militants while they were in a meeting inside the forest, he said.
“The apprehended extremists include the recruitment module operational head Lankeshwar Koch alias Lambu, a Myanmar-trained self-styled area commander of Lower Assam. Four Bangladesh-trained militants and two newly recruited cadres were arrested,” the spokesman said.
He said arms and ammunition were seized from them.
Several operations were launched in the last two months to bust the module functioning since December, 2019, he said.
After the surrender of the National Democratic Front of Boroland and signing of the Bodo Accord, the KLO had been striving to gain prominence in Lower Assam, the spokesman said.
“The successful operations will help in lowering the morale of the insurgent organisation and boost the confidence of security forces,” he added.
