Police sources said that Pabitra Jamatia (38), a local resident from the Killa area in Gomati district, was arrested yesterday in connection with his alleged involvement in arranging training for individuals from Tripura in Bangladesh.
According to police sources, Jamatia, on September 20, enticed four indigenous boys from Tripura to the militant base located in Shilchari, Khagrachari district of Bangladesh.

As soon as the authorities were alerted to this alarming situation, security forces launched a comprehensive operation to apprehend the culprits involved. Acting on intelligence provided by confidential sources, police located and arrested Pabitra Jamatia”, said Police.
Following his arrest, Jamatia was presented before the court. Subsequently, he was remanded into judicial custody until October 23, pending further investigations.
