ULFA chairman Arabinda Rajkhowa did not surrender with his aides and family. It?s reliably learnt that he was actually lured into a trap while trying to escape from Cox?s Bazaar near Chittagong in Bangladesh.

In a planned intelligence operation handled at the highest levels in the government, the first inputs about Rajkhowa?s plans to escape from Bangladesh came soon after the ?surrender? of ULFA finance secretary Chitrabon Hazarika and foreign secretary Shashadhar Chowdhury in November first week.

A rattled Rajakhowa, sources said, had realised that the heat was growing on ULFA members in Bangladesh and that it was not safe for him or his family to continue staying there. He is believed to have then been in touch with Mukul Hazarika of Assam Watch, who is based in London. While it is not clear with whom Hazarika then got in touch, sources said Rajkhowa was ultimately put on to some local Bangladeshi contacts to make good his escape.

I did not surrender: ULFA chief
ULFA chairman Arabinda Rajkhowa on Saturday said that he did not surrender and also did not have any plans to surrender even as the outfit?s commanderin- chief Paresh Barua denied reports of rift within its ranks.

Rajkhowa made the statement when he was being produced in the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) here along with his bodyguard Raja Barua and the outfit?s deputy commander-inchief Raju Barua.

Upon their arrival here from the Assam Police guest house around 5.30 p m, Rajkhowa said, ?I have not surrendered and will not surrender?.

At this time, youths, believed to be ULFA sympathisers, shouted slogans, ?ULFA zindabad?, ?Paresh Barua zindabad?, ?Arabinda Rajkhowa zindabad? etc.

They also urged the rebel leaders not to surrender.

These happened in full view of the police and CRPF personnel deployed at the court complex.

Earlier, the arrested ULFA leaders were taken to the CJM court in a convoy of vehicles amidst unprecedented security arrangements. All three of them were handcuffed. The court remanded them to 12 days police custody.

The BSF had on Friday claimed that the ULFA leaders had surrendered along with their wives and children before their personnel at Dawki in Meghalaya.
