Acting on a tip off, a special team took the help of the Tirupur district police and tracked William and his accomplice in a readymade garment manufacturing factory, he said. William is the most wanted militant who escaped from Mendipathar police up in August last, he said.

His accomplice Alas R Sangma is also wanted in connection with a case in which he was accused of killing his six-year-old son. William and his accomplice are being brought to Garo Hills on Wednesday.

Earlier on Monday, Sanjeev Roy, a close associate of William A Sangma, was arrested from Lower Babupara in Tura and seized Rs 31,745, five mobile phones, and some documents from his possession. Based on his leads, William was arrested.
