Indian troops in Assam yesterday shot dead seven suspected militants claimed to have belonged to Bangladesh-based banned Islamist outfit Harkatul Jihad Al Islami (Huji), reported agencies.

Rajesh Kalia, spokesman of the Indian defence ministry, said the operation was launched following up leads that Huji operatives were to meet near Guwahati, capital of the north-eastern Indian state.

The location of the meeting was tracked down through mobile interception.

Talking to The Daily Star over phone last night, Home Secretary Abdul Karim said he has heard about the Indian claims. “We’ll start dealing with the matter once we are informed formally.”

Quoting the Indian defence ministry statement, BBC, AP, AFP and Reuters reported that a platoon of soldiers yesterday encircled a militant hideout at a village in the western district of Dhubri.

As they ordered them to surrender, the militants opened fire at them, forcing the troops to hit back hard and kill the Huji operatives.

According to the statement, the Indian army recovered six revolvers and two kg explosives from the site after the encounter that lasted for over two hours.

Contacted, Inspector General of Police Nur Mohammad said his forces have been keeping a close watch on the activities of Huji and other militant outfits.
