Hemanta Roy and his accomplice, Jagdish Das, were arrested in a joint operation by officials of the army military intelligence and Jalandhar Police from a hotel where he was working in the guise of a waiter for the last few months.

He is being interrogated by army officials and the police.

Jalandhar district police chief Arpit Shukla said Roy, who belonged to the 709 battalion of Ulfa, was involved in several explosions and extortions in Assam.

Roy had fled Assam earlier this year to avoid being caught. He had stayed in Delhi before coming here. Defence maps, two PAN cards, five driving licences and a camera were recovered from his possession.

Shukla said that Assam Police had been informed about the arrests.
