Guwahati, Feb 4: Assam's Special Task Force (STF) arrested another Ansarullah Bangla Team (ABT) operative in the early hours of Tuesday in Kokrajhar, bringing the total number of arrests in the case to 12. Acting on intelligence inputs, the STF, with assistance from Kokrajhar police under Operation Praghat, apprehended one Nasim Uddin SK, a key operative suspected of involvement in extremist activities.
