Agartala, August 21 2009:
Four insurgents of banned All Tripura Tiger Force (ATTF) have surrendered to security forces, police said today.
While two insurgents surrendered to BSF DIG at sector headquarters at Khasiamanagal in West Tripura district yesterday and deposited three sophisticated wireless sets and many live cartridges, two other ultras had surrendered to Assam Rifles at Simna camp in the district on Wednesday.
According to police, during interrogation the insurgents told them that following erection of a barbed wire fencing in the 856-km border with Bangladesh it was becoming difficult for them to flee with arms from their camps.
Altogether, 15 insurgents of different outfits have surrendered this month in the state following Bangladesh army's raids to apprehend Indian insurgents who were using the soil of the neighbouring country.
