Guwahati, (PTI): In a case of mistaken identity, a tea garden sardar was
shot dead by army personnel during an operation against the ULFA in Sibsagar
district in the small hours of Monday.

Defence sources said Sadananda Tantabai, tea garden sardar and son of Asom
Chah Mazdoor Sangh vice-president, was shot dead by personnel of the 316
Field Regiment when Tantabai and two others on a scooter did not stop when
asked to do so.

The army men were carrying out security checks after receiving information
about the visit of three ULFA ultras to Disangpani-Banamali Tinali area,
under Kakotibari police station.

The two others on the scooter with Sadananda told the police that the
armymen fired at them.

Sadananda was the son of ACMS vice-president, Astami Tantabai.
