Another student has been arrested in Assam for a controversial Facebook post, where he allegedly supported the terror group Ulfa (I) led by fugitive leader Paresh Asom alias Paresh Baruah. The Udalguri district police arrested Pramod Kalita, 22, student of Tangla College, for allegedly supporting the group in a social media post, officials said on Monday.
On Sunday, he was arrested from Kalaigaon. He is now in judicial custody.
In his post in English and Assamese, Kalita, a resident of Borangabari of Udalguri, allegedly said he was willing to lay down his life for Ulfa-I and the group leader Paresh Baruah.
"I always support ULFA," he wrote. Replying to a comment demanding his arrest, he dared the police to arrest him. He, however, added that while he was loved Ulfa, he was not its member, police sources added.
