Guwahati, June 2 (IANS) Ranjan Daimary, the terror mastermind and leader of the outlawed National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB), was Wednesday sent to 14 days in police remand by a court for a bomb blast that killed half-a-dozen security personnel 15 years ago.
A sub divisional judicial magistrate in Udalguri in northern Assam granted the state police custody of the NDFB chief. The accused was charged by the police for masterminding an explosion in 1995 near Udalguri that killed six security personnel on duty.
Daimary was handed over to India by Bangladesh May 5.
The NDFB chief is also the main accused in serial explosions in Assam that killed about 100 people and wounded 500 more Oct 30, 2008.
Daimary was earlier in the custody of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probing the serial blasts.
The NDFB chief was quoted by the CBI as having confessed to masterminding the serial explosions during interrogation.
