Source-derived summary

Bijoy Das, known as Bijoy Chinese, was a commanding officer of 28th battalion of ULFA, the banned terrorist organisation in Assam. He hails from Nalbari district of Assam. He was working as an adjutant to Prabal Neog, the former commanding officer of the battalion, till Neog's arrest. He had also been holding the post of deputy commander of the battalion with Bhaskar Hazarika, another top ULFA leader. According to police he is a moderate who favours a political solution to the insurgency in Assam.

After Arabinda Rajkhowa and his followers joined peace talk with the Union of India, Paresh Baruah promoted Bijoy Chinese from Lieutenant to Major and appointed him as Deputy C-in-C of Eastern Command of the ULFA.

On 21 February 2013, Bijoy Das alias Bijoy Chinese left the Paresh Baruah faction and joined the Arabinda Rajkhowa-led Pro-Talk faction.

After coming overground, Bijoy said that "he will never leave the principles and ideology taught by Paresh Baruah" and "he fully support Paresh Baruah and his ideals only".

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Bijoy Das”, the useful work is to connect “indian terrorist” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 2, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4907263. The first chronological checks are 2013.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
