Guwahati, 5th December: Days after a powerful explosion occurred near the army cantonment area in Dirak, Kakopothar under Tinsukia district, another grenade was recovered in proximity to the cantonment area on December 4.

According to sources, the grenade was found on the roof of a house belonging to a man named Chinteshwar Chetia.
To provide context, Saurav Asom, a member of the ULFA-I expeditionary unit, had previously thrown a grenade near the Dirak army camp. Parag Bora of Philobari Chikarajan, who aided Saurav Asom as an accomplice by assisting him with a bike ride, was arrested on Monday and subsequently sent to jail by the Tinsukia police.
