Guwahati, January 10: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has filed a supplementary chargesheet against two more individuals in connection with the 2024 Assam Independence Day IED seizure case, officials said on Saturday.
The chargesheet, placed before the NIA special court in Guwahati on Friday, names Bhargab Gogoi and Sumu Gogoi of Dibrugarh district. With their indictment, the total number of accused in the case has now reached five, following the chargesheeting of three others in June 2025.
Both men were arrested in June last year after the NIA assumed control of the investigation from Dispur police in September 2024. According to the probe agency, they had provided financial support to co-accused Jahnu Boruah, who admitted to planting four of the 11 improvised explosive devices (IEDs) recovered in August 2024.
The explosives were allegedly planted in response to a protest and boycott call issued by United Liberation Front of Asom (Independent) chief Paresh Baruah.
The case, initially registered at Dispur police station, concerns a wider conspiracy by the banned ULFA(I) to wage war against the Government of India through coordinated IED blasts across Assam.
