Rajnath Singh had earlier on Thursday confirmed that operations will be launched against the National Democratic Front of Bodoland (Sangbijit group) after they killed over 70 people in the Sonitpur, Kokrajhar and Chirang districts of Assam.
He had also held a meeting with Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi and other senior state officials on Wednesday, and assured that the National Investigation Agency (NIA) will probe the case thoroughly.
