    Digital Desk: The United Liberation Front of Asom-Independent (ULFA-I), an armed militant group, declared in a press statement on Monday that the death sentence of alleged Assam Police spy Manash Borgohain has been revoked. 

    ULFA-I in its statement, said, "Manas Borgohain, a SI of the Special Branch of Assam Police, has been serving since 2021. High-ranking police officers, including DGP GP Singh and Deputy Inspector General Partha Sarathi Mahanta, are directly involved in the plan. Manas Chaliha, a notorious criminal and Zonal Officer of the Special Branch said that he and several other indigenous youths had been trained for the operation from June last year.” 

    The statement further reads, “The training occurred at three locations: Nos. 401, 409, and 207 at Royal Enclave Apartments, Ajanta Road, Beltola, Guwahati. A trial was held on 13 February 2024 under the chairmanship of the President of the Lower Council, with a three-member jury. The investigation report and the chargesheet confessions were scrutinized. Despite being given ample opportunity to verify the court's information, the accused pleaded guilty. This case strongly suggests the accused's desire for wealth and power, the unacceptability of deception as a profession, and the seriousness of treasonous offenses against the organization".

    Manash Borgohain has also been sentenced to one year of physical labor and four years of self-correction through positive culture, in addition to being banned from the organization for five years. 

    All of the revolutionary warriors' constitutional rights will remain available to the perpetrator. The implementation will be supervised by a powerful Monitoring and Review Committee consisting of three Senior Commission Officers. During this time, adherence to the Code of Conduct is required. The group "United Liberation Forces, Assam [Independent]" shall bear no liability if the offender does not take advantage of this final chance to make amends.
