With insurgent group ULFA-I spreading its tentacles in the state of Assam, a joint team of Tinsukia Police and Cobra Commandos, arrested two youths who were supposedly to join the Paresh Barua led faction.

For the past few months, intelligence reports have revealed that a group of youths from the state have been joining the ULFA-I cadre.
