Assam Director-General of Police G.M. Srivastava stated that the ULFA leadership, including its commander-in-chief, Paresh Barua, could move to Malaysia as Bangladesh was no longer interested in providing them refuge. According to the DGP, Barua was currently in southern China. Srivastava also stated that ULFA and Barua in particular were in a property-purchasing spree in Canada, having bought at least three flats in Canada, where he proposed to shift his wife and children1.
