Moreover, the ULFA-I has refused to recognise Santosh Lama as one of its cadre.

Santosh Lama alias Apu Axom was never given the rank of a cadre as he failed to stand by the constitution of the ULFA-I, the outfit said.

The ULFA-I, to support its claim that former AASU leader Biju Gogoi had “committed suicide”, also released a suicide note, which was purportedly written by Biju Gogoi before taking his own life.

The ULFA-I stated that Biju Gogoi “committed suicide” in his room in the outfit’s Myanmar camp by shooting himself in the head with a gun.

He shot himself between 12 am to 3 am on February 21, 2022, the ULFA-I said.
