All suspects entrusted with carrying out blasts in four major locations of Assam, including the one that occurred in Bokakhat last week, have been arrested by the police and the grenades meant for the purpose recovered from them, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said .

The ‘key person’ involved with the plan is still absconding, though the police have his whereabouts and he will be nabbed soon, Sarma said.

Two motorcycle-borne miscreants had lobbed a grenade at a CRPF camp at Bokakhat on June 24, injuring three police personnel who were inmates of the camp.

Addressing a press conference in Guwahati as quoted by PTI , Sarma said, “The plan was to carry out blasts in Bokakhat, Guwahati, Tezpur and Lakhimpur. The police have arrested all those who were to carry out these blasts.”

The three remaining grenades meant for the blasts and a pistol have been recovered from houses of the accused, he said.
