Guwahati: A 23-year-old youth from Assam have been suspected to have joined the Paresh Baruah-led insurgent group United Liberation Front of Asom-Independent (ULFA-I).
The youth identified as Bivarkar Kalita who is a resident of Pathsala town of Bajali district.
According to reports, Kalita had gone missing since April9. He along with his friend went to Tinsukia and got untraceable after that.
Kalita’s family members claimed that his phone was also switched off.
His parents further suspect that he might have joined the banned outfit and also appealed the outfit to free him as they are not keeping well.

However, the inquiry into the matter is still ongoing, and it is unclear whether he have joined the outfit or not.
