Arunodoy Asom alias Arunodoy Dohotiya, alias Arunody Dahotiya alias Ramya Mech alias Bijit Baruah (Assamese: অৰুণোদয় অসম) (real name Bijit Baruah) (Assamese: বিজিত বৰুৱা) is the Publicity Secretary and second-in-command of the banned militant outfit United Liberation Front of Assam's (ULFA) hardliner group’s Eastern Command.[2]
Though Arunodoy Asom is trained as a hardcore militant, initially he was given the charge of Publicity Commander of the Paresh Baruah led hardliner faction after Arabinda Rajkhowa and others came to a lateral dialogue with the Government of India in 2010.[3]
Early Life
Arunodoy Asom alias Bijit Baruah studied in Senairam College of Tinsukia town before he joined the banned outfit ULFA. It is claimed that Bijit Baruah joined the militant outfit ULFA under the influence of the late leader and first commander of 28th Battalion, Tapan Baruah.
Militancy Life
It is unknown when Bijit Baruah joined ULFA, but most senior leaders said that Baruah joined the outfit around 1998. After joining the ULFA, he became a close aid of the outfit's Supremo Paresh Baruah.
As Publicity Secretary of ULFA
As soon as the Arabinda Rajkhowa led faction was arrested and jailed, the name of Arunodoy Dohotiya appeared in press releases on behalf of Paresh Baruah.[4] Interestingly, the Assam Police and other intelligence sources suspected Assam based journalist Dhruba Jyoti Deka as Arunodoy Dohotiya.[5] But after Mr. Deka's arrest, press releases from Arunodoy Dohotiya didn't stop, thus clearing the suspicion. At the mid of the suspicion, Arunodoy Dohotiya escaped from a gherao by the NIA from Janakpuri area in Delhi.[6][7][8]
In 2012, as the Paresh Baruah led faction of ULFA decided to adopt a common surname Asom, Arunodoy Dohotiya was named as Arunodoy Asom.[9][10][11]
As Militant leader of the Hardliner ULFA
Arunodoy Asom, until 2011, was known as the head of the publicity wing of ULFA hardliner group. But after 2011, Arunodoy got involved in several violent militancy attacks that brought quick attention of security forces and intelligence agencies of India. From 2012, ULFA (anti-talk) and their alliances carried out attacks against security forces.[12]
Arunodoy Asom repeatedly involved in violent attacks against Indian security forces, and the National Investigation Agency (NIA), that was chasing him for more than a decade, charged Arunodoy in several armed activities.[13] [14]
