A 28-year-old militant, said to be the 'Area Commander' of the National Democratic Front of Bodoland who was taken into custody from Kanjikode here, was today formally arrested and remanded to judicial custody.
Kormeswar Basumithri, hailing from Sonitpur district of Assam, was taken into custody by Kerala police on July 26 and was being questioned. He was today produced before a court here and remanded to judicial custody and soon would be taken to Assam, police said.
Basumithri was working at a unit in Kanjikode in Palakkad district since the last three months, police said. Police had received intelligence inputs from their counterparts in Assam about the youth after it was found that there were regular telephone calls from Palakkad to Assam during the past couple of months.
