SILCHAR, May 6: In a prime catch, Silchar police apprehended a group of dreaded dacoits including the most wanted havildar-turned-dacoit Tamizuddin Laskar from a secret hideout at Ladrymbai of Meghalaya. A police team led by Additional SP Pradip Ranjan Kar raided at least three hideouts at Khleriate and Ladrymbai and nabbed five dacoits.
Earlier, on Tuesday evening, police apprehended one of the accomplices of Tamizuddin from Silchar and on the basis of his confession Kar with a police team proceeded towards Ladrymbai to arrest the dreaded dacoit. At least 34 detonators, 13 jiletin sticks and an Italy made 9mm pistol had been recovered from the gang.
Tamizuddin, a havildar with the Assam Police who turned criminal after allegedly looting Malkhana in Karimganj in the mid-80s, has been on the wanted list by police for almost 15 years. Tamizuddin, who raised a gang of dacoits is accused of not less than two dozen cases ranging from highway robbery to kidnapping and even murder. Arrest of Tamizuddin was indeed a major achievement of Kar who had earned fame for his excellent work in terror-struck NC Hills.
Acting on a secret information, ASP Kar yesterday nabbed one Abdul Hafib (30) of Bazarghat area of Ratabari in Karimganj district while he was coming from Banskandi in Cachar district. A source said Hafib met a Principal of an educational institution in Banskandi to collect money as directed by Tamizuddin. Being quizzed by Kar, Hafib admitted that Tamizuddin was hiding in Ladrymbai.
Kar immediately set out for Ladrymbai, accompanied by Malugram out post IC Mukut Kakoti and a team of jawans. They reached Zelia near Ladrymbai where they found one, Anwar Hussain Laskar of Borkhola, who is also an active member of Tamizuddin’s gang. Laskar then led the police team to a coal quarry where Tamizuddin was taking shelter with four others. The Police arrested all of them.
They were identified as Eklasuddin (26) of Ramkrishna Nagar, Emanuel Haque Laskar of Niargram, a suburb of Silchar and Baharuddin of Katlicherra. Interestingly, Emanuel was an active member of the erstwhile AGP (P) as well as a leading member of Durniti Nibaron Mancha, an organization fighting against corruption.
The entire gang was brought back to Silchar in the morning and the dacoits had been kept in police custody for further interrogation. It is to be noted that militants of various outfits used to take shelter in the Ladrymbai and Khleriate quarries. Police had earlier arrested a number of Bodo militants from this area.
Meanwhile, a source said, Tamizuddin claimed a hefty amount from the principal of an institution in Banskandi and Hafib was sent to collect the money. However, another source indicated that the principal had been persuading Tamiz to surrender with the assurance that he would arrange rehabilitation for the police turned dacoit. Hafib went to Banskandi for discussion with the principal in this regard.
A source, on the other hand, claimed that police had seized a mobile phone from the possession of Tamiz and the caller list included the name of an MLA from Karimganj, who was accused of hiring two PULF militants recently in order to eliminate his political rival. Police was however tight-lipped on the issue as Kar said in this stage they were not in a position to share more details with the media.
Tamizuddin Laskar, a resident of Udharbond, joined the Assam Police in 80s and showed excellence in his service. He was one of the PSOs of the then SP of Karimganj Pallab Bhattacharjee. He was then posted as security guard in a bank. During that time, Tamiz allegedly looted the Malkhana. He was arrested, and subsequently a case began in the court. In the process Tamiz vanished, only to return as a dreaded dacoit. Soon he formed own gang which had at present not less than 200 cadres.
Tamiz was accused of having link with PULF, a militant outfit active in Cachar Manipur border area. His name also figured in the abduction and murder of Sahindar Singh, a young businessman in recent times. THE SENTINEL
