Arrest
On Sunday night, November 1, 2009, some unidentified gunman took Hazarika, along with the group’s foreign secretary Sashadhar Choudhury away from a house in sector 3 of Uttara in Dhaka.[6][9] Later they were pushed back to the Indo-Bangladesh Border[1] where they were detained by BSF in Tripura while trying to infiltrate[1][3][9] on the night of November 4. They were handed over to Assam Police on November 6 by the BSF.[1] But according to the Assam Police, the leaders surrendered before BSF in Tripura fleeing the crackdown against them in Bangladesh.[9]
On Saturday, November 7, 2009, the Special Operation Unit of the Assam police produced Choudhury and Hazarika before the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Kamrup (Metropolitan).[9]
Reaction
On November 9, 2009 ULFA called for a 12-hour Assam bandh from 6 am demanding their unconditional release.[1][9] ULFA chairman Arabinda Rajkhowa, in a statement issued through e-mail, described the two leaders’ arrest as a “ploy to sabotage the process of finding a political solution to the problem and destroy ULFA militarily.”[9]
