The Ulfa has called for a 12-hour bandh on Monday demanding the release of their two top leaders - Sasadhar Chowdhury and Chitrabon Hazarika, who were picked up in Bangladesh and handed over to India.

The outfit wants these two leaders to be produced in front of the media. The Ulfa leaders, who fled Bangladesh after a security crackdown there, surrendered to the Border Security Force in Tripura.

The leaders were produced in a Guwahati court. They are being interrogated by a special branch of the Assam Police who will be joined by central intelligence agencies soon.

Fifty-year-old Chitrabon Hazarika who belongs to Nowong district of Assam, had escaped to Bangladesh before the crackdown on militants in Bhutan.

Hazarika was one of the central committee leaders of Ulfa who was trained in early eighties along with NSCN cadres.

Sasadhar Chowdhury who hails from Nalbari district, is known as Hasan Ali in Bangladesh and holds a diploma in civil engineering.

Chowdhury even tried to take the cause of Ulfa in interational forums too.
