Dear friends,
The incident was well known to all of Assam at that time only.But due to lot
many tusle among our own people and ULFA/SULFA- whole thing was meshed
up.Neither human right activist tried to do something.(Human right activist are
worst than Animal right activist!!To save stray dogs!!)
Prafullas Mahanta hence kept the Home ministry posrtfolio with him and
managed very cleverly to kill then Minister Lalit Rajkhowa with filmy style
accident.Somehow he too managed to get rid of Bhrigu.ULFA never bothered all..
nor others...The dense isolated hills of Nunmati and Narengi and Khanapara was
full of dead bodies- since Prafulla was in power.And he used to most safe
hands-The "Black Panther forces" of Assam battalion specially trained in
Punjab to plot the murders..The Black Panthers was only doing such jobs at
night.And so scary Prafulla was having Army black cat to have Z category
security cover like Jayalalitha.Them who will hang the bell on cats neck??
These are all open secret that every sensible assamese knows.This is another
reason that our present CM re-ordered.
Let ULFA hand Prafulla like Saddam now-!!
Subject: Re: [Assam] commission: AGP behind killings of ULFA members' kin
Another display of Indian-jurisprudence!
Nothing ever happens.

Mahanta at the helm of secret killings in Assam: Saikia Commission Sushanta
Talukdar Guwahati: The Justice K.N. Saikia Commission has indicted the former
Chief Minister Prafulla Kumar Mahanta, the then police hierarchy and the Home
Ministry for the extra-constitutional killings which occurred in Assam during
1998-2001. There is enough evidence to show that the then Home Minister was at
the helm of these extra-constitutional killings, the one-man Commission said.
Mr. Mahanta, who was heading the Asom Gana Parishad-led government, was also
Home Minister during this period. The report of the Commission, constituted by
the State government to probe the secret killings of family members of
leaders and cadres of the United Liberation Front of Asom, was tabled in the
Assembly by Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi on Thursday. About the motive behind
the secret killings, the Commission said it was perpetuation of the AGP rule
by villainy, treachery and monstrous cruelty and
dangerous propensity. Remote orchestration The common characteristics of
the cases and evidence prove beyond reasonable doubt, remote orchestration of
killing from the Home Ministry, through police-SULFA [surrendered ULFA] nexus
using some SULFAs as the striking arms or executioners. The authority may be
held liable and be dealt with according to law. The Commission recommended to
the government to try to first keep in abeyance, and then gradually dismantle
the Unified Command structure of the Army, the Assam police and the Central
paramilitary forces as an immediate measure to prevent recurrence of such
killings. The Commission observed some common characteristics each killing
involved an ULFA family or an ULFA related family, the investigations mostly
fizzling out or ending in Final Reports or investigations pending, but no clue.
No charge sheet was submitted in any case. Most of the killings occurred at
dead of night, and the assailants invariably spoke in
Assamese to wake up the victims. The assailants were invariably armed with
sophisticated firearms of prohibited bores, and masked with black wrappers or
caps to avoid being identified, the report said. The weapons used in the
killings were invariably firearms of different sizes, bores and calibres,
mostly of prohibited bores normally found in police-military situations. As
firearms with prohibited bores were used, forensic/ballistic examinations of
exhibits were mostly avoided or unduly delayed, and the investigation
ultimately fizzled out. The vehicles used were mostly Maruti Gypsies and vans
and always without registration numbers. There was police patrolling in the
crime areas prior to and after, but not during the killings. Army ubiquitous
The Army was ubiquitous. By Army, we mean the armed forces of the Union
deployed in Assam in aid of civil power. There was lurking evidence of
police-SULFA nexus in the killings, some of the latter being constituted as an
extra-constitutional authority and used as executioners. The modus operandi
being to visit the family, ask members to persuade its ULFA members to
surrender, failing which, to send an advance team to survey the location and
structure of the house, then to send armed and masked men at dead of night,
knock at the door to wake up the inmates and then drag him/them out and shoot
him/them dead, or take him/them away and secretly kill and throw the bodies
somewhere. The report said there was general resentment against the Unified
Command Structure/Chief Minister. In its action taken report, the government
said it accepted the Commissions recommendation to revive 20 cases for
re-investigation. As for keeping in abeyance and gradually dismantling the
Unified Command structure, it said the recommendation would be considered in
conjunction with the prevailing situation at the time of the tri-monthly review
of the structure. Another report tabled The government also tabled
the preliminary report of the Justice J.N. Sharma Commission, constituted
prior to the setting up of the Saikia Commission. Justice Sharma said he was
not able to identify the killers and accomplices, and pinpoint responsibility.
