Earlier, an MMA player from Bajali district in Assam was reportedly executed by the outlawed ULFA-I for allegedly attempting to flee the outfitโ€™s camp in Myanmar.

Abhinash Kalita joined the ULFA-I in March 2022 but allegedly attempted to escape from the camp earlier in September this year along with another cadre namely Deep Axom alias Tanmoy Bora.

Reacting to the โ€˜executionโ€™ of Anhinash Kalita, Assam DGP GP Singh urged youths of the state not to waste their lives for a โ€˜despoticโ€™ organization like ULFA-I.

โ€œOnce again, same story. They wonโ€™t change. Young friends from Assam, donโ€™t waste your life for an autocratic organisation. Your life has no value there. Please, please, please,โ€ DGP Singh said.
