Since the year 2000, Paresh Baruah's residence in Chabua has been under the constant vigilance of security personnel, ensuring the safety of the ULFA-I leader. However, in a sudden move, three security personnel responsible for home security, along with one security guard, were withdrawn from the premises.

Sources reveal that the security personnel received orders to relocate to the Dibrugarh headquarters during the evening hours. The unexpected withdrawal implicates the motives behind the peace talks.

Adding to the intrigue, it was reported that Bikul Baruah, the brother of Paresh Baruah, illuminated the entire house with a drone on January 7 evening.
