After A section of media reported that NLFT vice-president Utpal Debbarma was arrested, Tripura police have said that they had no information relating to the alleged arrest of the top National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT) leader in Bangladesh.

A Tripura police officer on Monday said it had no credible information to confirm the arrest of Debbarma. However, Police has confirmed that the NLFT leader has been operating from his hideouts in the neighbouring country. There was a report that Debbarma was arrested on Sunday in Chittagong in southeast Bangladesh. The reports said the NLFT leader was picked up from his ‘hideout’ in Chittagong by the counter-terrorism unit of the Bangladesh police. One report claimed he was taken to a ‘safe house’ where he was being interrogated.
