Assam Rifles troopers have arrested three militants belonging to the Dima Hasao National Army and seized a huge cache of arms from them, an official said here on Wednesday.
"Acting on a tip off, Assam Rifles troopers raided a village in Maibang sub-division in Dima Hasao district and arrested three cadres of the DHNA," an Assam Rifles official said.
He said four AK-56 rifles, 18 loaded magazines, and several thousand bullets were seized from them.
Police and intelligence officials were interrogating the militants in Maibang.
