*New Delhi, June 14, 2025* – The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has filed charges against three individuals, including Paresh Baruah, the Myanmar-based chief of the outlawed United Liberation Front of Asom-Independent (ULFA-I), for their alleged involvement in a conspiracy to trigger multiple IED blasts across Assam during the 2023 Independence Day celebrations.

Baruah, also known under several aliases including Paresh Asom, is the self-styled commander-in-chief of the proscribed terrorist group. Along with Baruah, Abhijit Gogoi and Jahnu Boruah have also been charged under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, and the Explosive Substances Act. The charges were filed in a Guwahati court on Friday.

According to the NIA statement, the accused are linked to Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) planted at Dispur Last Gate in Guwahati. The agency, which took over the investigation in September 2024, stated that the IEDs were intended to cause death or injury, destroy property, threaten India’s unity and sovereignty, and spread terror among the population.

“The NIA found that the IEDs were planted with the intent to cause death or injury, destroy property and threaten the unity, integrity, and sovereignty of India and to spread terror among the people,” officials said. The NIA’s investigation underscores the ongoing threat posed by ULFA (I) and its attempts to destabilize the region through acts of terror.
