Guwahati, Jan 29: The Assam Police has firmly denied allegations of sending a spy to the banned ULFA-Independent (ULFA-I) camp in Myanmar, refuting claims made in a confessional video released by the militant outfit.
The police clarified that no Manash Borgohain was sent as a spy to the ULFA-I camp, and there was no recruitment of anyone by that name in the Special Branch of the police in 2021.
The ULFA-I released a video on January 28, featuring a member identified as Manash Borgohain alias Mukut Axom, who claimed to have been sent by Assam state authorities to spy on the militant group.
In the video, Mukut Axom confessed to working with the Special Branch of Assam Police since 2021 and participating in a mission to monitor ULFA-I’s activities.
According to Mukut Axom’s allegations in the video, he was recruited for the mission by Assam Police officials Manab Chaliha and Digambar Pandey, and he received directives from GP Singh, Partha Sarathi Mahanta, and Bhaskarjyoti Mahanta, who served as the DGP in 2021.
The alleged spy asserted that several young men and women were recruited for the mission and were offered financial assistance.
Mukut Axom disclosed details of the training received for the mission, emphasizing primary training on Biometrics, specifically focusing on how to disrupt ULFA-I’s systems in any environment.

The Assam Police’s denial and clarification aim to counter the serious allegations made in the confessional video, asserting that they have not engaged in sending spies to ULFA-I camps.
