"The combing operation to flush out the rebels in Garo Hills will continue. Additional reinforcement has been rushed to the region and we are expecting another 10 companies of central paramilitary forces to be dispatched," said the minister.

The GNLA has claimed responsibility over the cold blooded murder, alleging that the mother of the four children was a "police informant".

"The GNLA has verified and confirmed that woman was the police source and she was responsible for the death of our training instructor Kram.
