Hounded and tracked by snooping Indian intelligence agencies that has cost him dearly, anti-talks Ulfa leader Paresh Baruah has switched off all his mobile and satellite phones and shifted to Skype. This is the last bit of information intelligence agencies intercepted while eavesdropping on Baruah's conversations about a week ago.
Baruah reportedly also asked his men to shift to the much-safer video chatting using Skype for all communication through a jump server that allows users to maintain online anonymity and hides their locations as well.
In recent times, many of his plans have been foiled and some of his men have been caught after they gave away their locations to security forces that continuously keep their ears glued to cellular phone networks and satellite phone frequencies.
"We access the details of his calls every time he calls his men on satellite phones. We can find out his location; he usually calls from Ruili town in southern China bordering Myanmar," a security source said.
Baruah has already started foxing the security forces using his jump server. The eavesdropping security forces can no longer hear Baruah or his men on the cellular or satellite phone networks.
Even his mails have sent security forces into a tizzy. "A few mails that were tracked showed different locations of origin and are geographically far from each other. However, the sender is same and the mails have been sent within a short period of time, which makes it impossible for the sender to travel from one location to another," the source said.
Baruah, despite being on the run to remain elusive, has managed to update his communication system as and when security forces made dents into his existing method. In the 90's, Baruah would send his messengers to newspaper houses to deliver statements. When this method was busted, Baruah shifted to fax machines.
Towards late 90s, Baruah hosted the outfit's mouthpiece, 'Freedom', on the web, which was soon hacked by Indian intelligence agencies and blocked. 'Freedom' then started coming through emails to the media and so did all statements of the outfit. Baruah had to change the outfit's email account twice after they were hacked into by agencies. In between, Baruah had also started calling up selected journalists, but never on their cell phones lest he gave away his cell number. The calls were always made on landlines of newspaper houses.
