SIVASAGAR, Jan 4: After the recent peace deal between the pro-talk faction of the ULFA and the government, a disheartening incident has come to light. Gautam Gogoi, a youth employed as a technical assistant in IIT Guwahati, has reportedly joined the anti-talk insurgent group ULFA(I), leaving his family in profound grief and shock.
Gautam, son of Tileswar Gogoi and Nirada Gogoi of Deoraja near Amguri, left home for Guwahati at about 6 am on Wednesday after spending a fortnight with his family. However, after his departure, he switched off his mobile, and Amguri Police visited his home on Thursday. Gautam’s devastated mother appealed to her son through the media, urging him to return home.

Following two youths from Geleki and Nitaipukhuri in 2023, Gautam Gogoi is suspected to be the first youth from the district this year to have allegedly joined the anti-talk faction of ULFA. SP Sivasagar Subhrajyoti Bora stated over the phone that they have no information about any youth joining the outfit. However, they have unconfirmed reports of two youths joining ULFA(I) last year. Due to the regular flow of people to and from all neighbouring states through open borders, it is challenging for the police to identify and track individuals who go missing after certain points.
