The Border Security Force official said the duo will be handed over to Assam Police soon as it approached for custody since several cases were pending in the state against them.ULFA chairman Arabinda Rajkhowa slipped away hours before Bangladeshi security forces raided three different locations where he was suspected to have been hiding, sources said.
