Four insurgents of the banned National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT) have surrendered to BSF at Raisyabari, a remote border village in Dhalai district of the state, police said today.
BSF handed over the insurgents to the police yesterday and during preliminary interrogation they revealed that they fled from the outfit's hideout at Chittagong Hill Tract of neighbouring Bangladesh, Gandacherra sub-divisional police officer Jawhar Debbarma told reporters.
"The insurgents living in the hideouts are reeling under severe food and financial crisis," Debbarma quoted the ultras as saying.
The outfit, he said, has started fresh recruitment possibly for subversive activities before the assembly elections slated for February next year.
