The Spokesman for the command, DSP Asinim Butswats, who confirmed the arrest, said Alison’s arrest was made possible due to a tip to the state’s Strike Force, a team specialised in tracking down wanted criminals.
Alison, said to be a member of a crime syndicate, has been linked to the vandalism of several oil pipelines in different parts of the state.
Butwats said Alison was arrested in possession of four hand grenades, one live cartridge, a pair of military uniform, one machete, one SIM card, and twelve wraps of substance suspected to be cocaine.
