The force carried out a major operation on Friday at Ledo and apprehended self styled Pvt Bikram Chakma along with .22 calibre pistol, Defence PRO Colonel Chiranjeet Konwer informed in a communiqué on Saturday.

On interrogation the cadre revealed the whereabouts of an overground worker of NSCN (K) named Tara Chand who was involved in extortion activities and was providing support to terrorists in the area.
