It may be mentioned that the police officer  succumbed to bullet injuries on May 4, 2018 after he led a joint team of Assam Police and Central Reserved Paramilitary Force for a counter-insurgency operation at Kujupathar village in eastern Assam’s Tinsukia district. The ULFA (I) later regretted the killing of Bhaskar Kalita.

Kujupathar, close to Assam’s border with Arunachal Pradesh, is within the jurisdiction of Bordumsa Police Station that Kalita headed as the officer in-charge.
