Assam Government has adopted a two-pronged strategy to deal with the Black Widow (BW). Besides launching a strong military offensive against the BW, the Government is backing a splinter group of the outfit, led by James Dimasa, in a bid to split and neutralise the group. The splinter group, formed a few months ago, has 60 armed cadres and is in touch with several members of the BW. Leaders of the James group were in constant touch with senior security officials of the district to devise ways of tackling the BW. The government hopes that its strategy will bear fruit in a month or two as it is getting feelers from the ground that BW leaders are "worried" by the dual threat. "They are even expressing willingness to come for negotiations. We are trying to find out whether such feelers are just a ploy to scale down our offensive against it," a senior police official said.

Police arrested the Chief Executive Member (CEM) of the North Cachar Hills Autonomous Council, Mohit Hojai, for allegedly giving INR 10 million to two persons for purchasing arms for a militant outfit, reports Telegraph. R.H. Khan, a liaison official of the District council and a former deputy director in the social welfare department, was also arrested along with Hojai from Halflong in North Cachar Hills District. Sources said Hojai had been kept at an undisclosed location and would be interrogated in connection with the recent recovery of INR 10 million from Brojen Hojai and Babul Kemprai, who were arrested from the Assam-Meghalaya border on April 2. Apart from the cash, two small weapons and stationery of the Black Widow (BW) outfit were also recovered from their possession. The duo alleged that Mohit Hojai had given them the money to purchase weapons for the BW from an international arms dealer. Mohit Hojai had gone underground for over two months after the incident, but surfaced in Haflong town last month and took charge of the council. A Police team from Guwahati went to Haflong and arrested Hojai. Sources said Hojai had paid the amount to the BW as “protection money”.
