The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has summoned to the banned United Liberation Front of Asom (Independent) Chairman Dr Abhijit Asom alias Dr Mukul Hazarika to appear at the office of the agency in Guwahati on September 30 in connection with a case registered against the outfit group.
The investigating agency had sent the summon against the ULFA(I) Chairman related to the case 4/2013 registered at the agency’s Guwahati branch in the Lachit Nagar area.
NIA asked to the ULFA(I) Chairman to appear to its Guwahati branch office at 1pm on September 30 to answer certain questions related to the case.
The identity of the Chairman of ULFA (I) was baffled everyone as no one sure about the identity of the man behind Dr Abhijit Asom, but the notice issued by NIA had revealed the identity of ULFA(I) Chairman.
In 2011, the hard-line faction ULFA had declared Dr Abhijit Barman as the new acting chairman of the organization after its chairman Arobinda Rajkhowa and other top leaders were arrested in Bangladesh and ULFA had declared Dr Abhijit Barman alias Dr Abhijit Asom as the new chairman of the organization.
In past years, security agencies had been trying to collect records, information about the new chief of the outfit group.
In 2013, a local news channel of Assam had reported that Dr Mukul Hazarika, a general practitioner in Britain is the man behind the ULFA's new chief.
Dr Mukul Hazarika alias Dr Abhijit Asom was born at Puranigudam Kaxori Gaon in Nagaon district of Assam and he was the 1970's MBBS batch of Guwahati medical College.
Dr Mukul Hazarika was the coordinator of a website named Assam Watch and he submitted reports on human rights to United Nations (UN) several times.
“The ULFA(I) chief was seen last time in Nagaon district in 1983, when his father was expired,” a local resident of Puranigudam area said.
“We don’t know that Mukul is the ULFA(I) chief. Recently he sent a letter and gift to the Radhakanta Boruah High School of Puranigudam and the letter also stated Dr. Mukul Hazarika’s address as: Dr. Mukul Hazarika, Elton House, Elton England, TS211AG,” the local resident of Puranigudam said.
He further said that, Dr Mukul Hazarika had studied at the school from 1955 to 1962.
Later he left to Britain and worked along with Dr William Entwistle and Elanie Catteric at a private hospital in Billingham.
