Four businessmen of upper Assam's Sibsagar district have been arrested for alleged links with the banned ULFA.
Superintendent of Police Shyman Prasad Saikia said three of them hailed from Sibsagar town while the fourth was from nearby Moran town.
They were identified as Pradip Khandelia, who owns the largest kitchen utensil business, Manish Chandra Kedia, who has a steel business, Radhey Shyam Sharma, the owner of a shopping mall at Sibsagar, and Bikash Agarwal, a cloth merchant from Moran.
The four were in contact with ULFA's strike force, the 28th battalion "B" company second, and the rebel commanding the unit, Ram Singh, to whom they provided information about other businessmen, Saikia said.
The four businessmen were arrested yesterday and produced before the district chief judicial magistrate, who remanded them to police custody for three days
