Said
SINCE the incident of the death of a housewife and the gunshot wound of her two girl children in the crossfire of the fierce gun battle between two extremist groups at Jhinaia village bordering Tripura, the villagers have been stricken with panic. Such panic further intensified since arrival of the gun-totting top leadership of the separatists on the spot on December 3 morning. Besides, the two separatists, caught by the villagers and made over to the Bangladesh Rifles along with sophisticated arms while trying to sneak into the Indian territory of Tripura the next morning after the nocturnal fight, have not yet been put under police custody.
