The killing of the four youths at Joypur area of Kokrajhar had led to massive violence in Bodoland Territorial Area Districts (BTAD) and nearby areas in lower Assam for over a month and claimed about 100 lives besides displacing 4.85 lakh people.
Police said the founder president of All Bodoland Minority Students Union (ABMSU) Moinul Haq was among the three taken into custody by CBI and shifted to an unknown location here.
