"PM @narendramodi spoke to Bangladesh PM Sheikh Hasina. He wished PM Hasina on Diwali & thanked her for the help in fighting terrorism," the Prime Minister's office said in a tweet. Earlier, Minister of State for Home Affairs Kiren Rijiju dubbed Chetia's deportation to India as a major breakthrough which would help in cracking many important terror-related cases. "This is a major breakthrough that the Bangladesh Government has decided to hand over ULFA leader Anup Chetia to India. This will lead to cracking of many cases, would like to thank Bangladesh Prime Minister and the government for finally heeding to our demands" Rijiju told ANI here. "This has been a long standing demand of ours that Anup Chetia be handed over to India and lastly it has become a reality. Anup Chetia is a senior leader of ULFA and his custody would mean that we can crack some of important
cases in which investigation is going on," he added. When asked if the investigation would be done by the Central agency, Rijiju said that the case would be investigated by both the central agency and Assam Police. "Because there are many cases against him but most of the cases are northeast based," he added. Responding on a question of Chetia being brought to Delhi for investigation, Rijiju said that it was for the agencies to decide. Anup Chetia, whose original name is Golap Baruah and was also known as Sunil Baruah, Bhaijan or Ahmed, is the General Secretary of ULFA. He is also one of the founder leaders of the group. He was born at Jerai Gaon in Tinsukia district of Assam. Chetia was first arrested in March, 1991 in Assam but was released by then Chief Minister Hiteswar Saikia. On December 21, 1997, he was again arrested in Dhaka under the Foreigners Act and the Passports Act for illegally carrying foreign currencies and a satellite phone. He was sentenced to seven years of imprisonment by a Bangladeshi court and was being held at Kashimpur Jail located on the outskirts of Dhaka. Chetia was charged
with illegally entering Bangladesh using a forged passport; possession of illegal foreign currency from 16 different countries and illegal possession of arms. He was also a wanted by the Assam Police for various cases, including killing, kidnapping and extortion. Since his arrest in Dhaka in 1997, the Indian Government had been asking the
Bangladesh Government to extradite Chetia. Dhaka had earlier refused to entertain New Delhi's request on grounds that the two countries did not have an extradition treaty. After the 15th IndiaBangladesh Home Secretarylevel meeting at Dhaka, Bangladesh Home Affairs Secretary Mozammel Haque Khan had confirmed that
Bangladesh has agreed to hand over Anup Chetia to India, which will send back Nur Hossain, prime accused in a case of seven murders in Narayanganj. Despite the expiry of his prison term, Chetia was in jail under a 2003 High Court directive asking authorities to keep him in safe custody until a decision was taken on his asylum plea. (ANI)

years after his arrest in a passport forgery case. Chetia, a founding member of ULFA and its general secretary, is wanted for murder, abductions and extortion cases in India. He had sought political asylum in Bangladesh thrice in 2005, 2008 and in 2011 after Bangladesh Police arrested him in December 1997. Chetia was subsequently handed seven years of jail terms by two courts for cross-border intrusion, carrying fake passports and illegally keeping foreign currencies. Despite the expiry of his term, Chetia was in jail under a 2003 High Court directive asking authorities to keep him in safe custody until a decision was taken on his asylum plea. (ANI)
Thailand mystery: 2 detainees suspected of insulting monarchy die in custody Bangkok, Nov 11:The commander of Thailand's ruling junta said Tuesday that the military was not responsible for the deaths of two detainees suspected of insulting the monarch - including the crown prince's former personal fortuneteller - who were being held at a controversial army detention site. Gen. Prayuth Chan-ocha told reporters that the Thai military was "kind, not cruel" and rejected concerns over possible human rights violations at the detention facility, which is being used to house terrorism suspects and those accused under a draconian law against defaming Thailand's royal family. The Southeast Asian nation has been swirling with questions over the mysterious deaths of the detainees, who were arrested last month on charges that they exploited connections with the monarchy to extort money. Few details of the charges have been released, but authorities said the suspects were accused of skimming funds from a bicycling event held

Thai policemen escort fortune teller Suriyan Sucharitpolwong, center, better known by the nickname Mor Yong, as he arrives at military court in Bangkok, Thailand, on Oct. 21, 2015. Suriyan died while in custody over the weekend. by Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn in honor of his ailing father, whom he is widely expected to succeed as king. Authorities disclosed Monday that Suriyan Sucharitpolwong, a prominent astrologer who had been one of the prince's advisors, had died over the weekend of natural causes while in custody at a military barracks in Bangkok. The astrologer, better known as Mor Yong, was
one of the organizers of the event but reportedly had a falling out with the prince. Two weeks earlier, another suspect in the investigation, police Maj. Prakrom Warunprapa, died after being found hanging by his shirt in his temporary cell at the barracks. They were among a growing number of people prosecuted for violating the lese-majeste law, which protects the monarchy and carries a
penalty of up to 15 years in prison. It is one of the harshest such laws in the world, say human rights groups, and is being used with growing frequency under the junta that took power in a coup last year. In a country otherwise known for Bangkok's chaos and an almost-anythinggoes tourist industry, Thailand's royal family is a severely protected subject. The topic has become even more sensitive in recent years because the revered 87-year-old king's health is failing and the royals - and the military - want to ensure an orderly succession. Critics of the monarchy including some outspoken Thai academics who have left the country to escape prosecution under lesemajeste - say the investigation renews questions about whether the law is being used to punish anyone who runs afoul of the would-be king. "I find it shocking on many levels, and one is the extent to which the law is being used more than any time in Thailand's modern
h i s t o r y, " s a i d P a v i n Chachavalpongpun, associate professor at the Center for Southeast Asian Studies at Japan's Kyoto University. "If this is about corruption alone, as the authorities say, you can deal with it like a normal case. You don't have to use Article 112," the section of the Thai criminal code that deals with insulting the m o n a r c h y. T h a i n e w s media and websites heavily self-censor when reporting on the royals, but the circumstances of the astrologer Suriyan's death have been the subject of hushed conversations in Bangkok. Corrections officials said Monday that he had died Saturday of "a blood infection," reportedly septicemia, but did not explain why they waited two days to make the announcement. Officials described it as a preexisting condition that deteriorated due to the stress of his arrest and said Suriyan's family did not suspect foul play. (Agencies)
