Acting on a tip-off, the army's Red Horns division arrested a top leader of the anti-talk faction of the National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB) from Goalpara district.
The arrested NDFB militant was identified as Pradeep Brahma, a self-styled platoon commander of the terror group.
An army statement said Brahma got his training in Bangladesh. Twelve rounds of M-16 rifle and two detonators were recovered from his possession, it added.
"The arrested militant is known to be a ruthless terrorist involved in the killing of many innocent citizens and attacks on police personnel in the past," it said.
