As many as nine militants of the newly formed armed outfit United Liberation for Bodoland (ULB) have been arrested in Assam's Baksa on Thursday.

A large number of documents including demand notes, a list of cadres, and grenades were also recovered from their possession.

A large number of documents including demand notes, list of cadres and grenades have been recovered in searches. Operations against ULB shall continue," DGP GP Singh tweeted on the development.

The outfit was formed on September 17 demanding a separate state of Bodoland.

It also said that it will "fight for rights till the last breathe" of their life until their demand is fulfilled.

"Let us die for our rest and homeland but let not die for us," it added.
