Guwahati: A young wushu player and boxer from upper Assam’s Moranhat who was arrested for allegedly supporting the proscribed ULFA-I has been granted by a court, an official said on Saturday.
Maina Chutia, 23, was arrested for allegedly commenting on a Facebook post, written in favour of ULFA-I.
Superintendent of police of Charaideo district, Yuvraj Saurav told IANS that Chutia had showed her willingness through social media to join ULFA-I and she was arrested as per the law of the land.
It has been alleged that she had written on Facebook: “If I get any link, I will join ULFA. I love ULFA-I.”
A lower court in Charaideo district on Friday granted bail to Chutia. She spent more than one-and-a-half months in jail.
Her comment on Facebook had come under the scanner of the cyber cell of police and a team from the Moranhat police station went to the athlete’s house and arrested her on June 17.
After walking out of jail, Chutia said: “It was tough to spend so many days in jail, but could learn a few good things there.”
As per reports, she would be participating in a wushu tournament slated to be held from Sunday in Guwahati.
It is to be noted that, Barshashree Buragohain, a college student from Jorhat was also in jail for “supporting” ULFA-I. She was granted bail recently by the Gauhati High Court. However, another youth from Sivsagar district, Bitupan Changamai is still in jail for commenting on Barshashree’s Facebook post.
