Guwahati: Police in
Assam's Dibrugarh district are on the lookout for a woman school
teacher, who has reportedly left her home to join the anti-talk
faction of the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA).
Jahnabi Mahanta Rajknowar is a teacher with a government school in
Naharkatia area and is also known on the state's literary circuit
as a short story writer.
Police said that Rajknowar - a mother of two - had not returned
home since Feb 13. She was teaching at the Naharkatia Government
Girls' School.
"Her husband later discovered a letter written by her saying that
she is leaving home to join the outfit," said a senior police
official in Dibrugarh.
"In the letter, which was handed over to police, Rajknowar wrote
that her decision of joining the outfit was neither sudden nor an
emotional decision but a well thought out plan," said the police
official, quoting from the letter.
"The teacher had also mentioned in the letter that the family
members are not involved in her decision of joining the outfit,"
said the official.
Meanwhile, the security adviser to the Assam chief minister and
former state police chief G.M. Srivastav claimed that Rajknowar
has "an affair" with Abhijit Asom alias Dr. Abhijit Barman, the
newly-appointed chairman of the anti-talk faction of ULFA.
The outfit Friday slammed Srivastav's statement, terming it a
conspiracy to tarnish the image of the outfit's chairman.
"Jahnabi Mahanta or any other individual has the right to join the
outfit if he or she is convinced with the aim and objective of the
ULFA," said Asom in a statement sent to media.
