For the first time since 1992, Bangladesh Rifles handed over to India three Bodo insurgents sheltered in Bangladesh. But as foreign secretaries of both countries meet in New Delhi on Thursday, India has made clear that patience is running thin in Delhi over Dhaka's attitude of staying in a denial mode over most of the insurgent groups are operating freely from inside Bangladesh.
After the May 2008 Jaipur blasts, the August 2007 blasts in Hyderabad and the Mecca Masjid bombing it is clear Bangladesh is not only becoming a safe haven for the terrorists but also a hideout for insurgent groups from Northeast India, a part of the country which continues to simmer as separatist militants flex their muscle from Dhaka
The main guys are never caught. Even their presence is denied,” says Former Chief of RAW, Vikram Sood.
CNN-IBN has access to the latest list of nearly 100 Indian insurgent camps, hideou
ts and safe houses in Bangladesh, which was given to the military government in Dhaka recently.
The document clearly shows that the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) leads the pack of separatist groups that operate from Bangladesh from the heart of capital Dhaka.
ULFA has hideouts in places like Ansumoy Hotel in Dhaka's posh Gulshan area to districts like Hobigunj, Khagracheri - is where ULFA's top leadership including self-styled Commander-in-Chief Paresh Barua escaped an assassination attempt - Moulvi Bazar, Mymensingh, Bandardarban, Chittagong Hill Tracts and Cox's Bazar.
The group also maintains seven active training camps across Bangladesh
While Paresh Barua is hiding in Bangladesh, the chief arms procurer for the Naga insurgent outfit-NSCN (IM) is also there.
That means that despite the 11-year-long ceasefire with India, the National Socialist Council of Nagalim led by Thuingaleng Muivah still maintains two active training camps in Khagrachari and Bandarban.
According to this secret interrogation report sent in January by the Additional Director General, Punjab Police, Babbar Khalsa militants were in regular touch with the NSCN-IM rebels in Nagaland for procurement of weapons. Which means that the outfit has been actively involved in the business of illegal weapons, in clear violation of ceasefire ground-rules.
Apart from the ULFA and NSCN(IM), most guerilla outfits from Northeast India are sheltered in Bangladesh from People's Liberation Army from Manipur to All Tripura Tigers Force to the National Liberation Front of Tripura to United Achik National Front.
India alleges Indian insurgents based in Bangladesh are getting help from Islamic fundamentalist groups. Sources say that many Islamic radical groups, like the Harkat-Ul-Jehad-Al_Islami (HUJI), have set up their training camps along with some of the insurgent training camps.
