ULFA leader Baruah's life term commuted to 14 yrs jail in B'desh

Bangladesh High Court has commuted the life imprisonment of separatist ULFA leader Paresh Baruah to 14 years imprisonment in a 2004 arms smuggling case under the country's Arms Act. Earlier, Baruah's death penalty was commuted to life imprisonment. The case involved smuggling of weapons, intercepted during the rule of ex-Bangladesh PM Khaleda Zia, intended for anti-India militant groups.
