The CBI has arrested four persons in connection with an incident during the 2012 ethnic violence between the Bodos and minorities in Assam in which over 100 people were killed and thousands displaced. 

CBI sources said four persons have been arrested in connection with the riots in Karigaon area of Kokrajhar district but refused to give their identity. 

The agency team led by a DIG-level officer carried out searches during its probe early this month during which it got number of leads on the alleged perpetrators of the riots. 

The sources said the situation on ground level was still very tense and any information about the arrest of persons from a particular community could spark violence hence the officers have to be very cautious. 

They said the investigating officers move under police patrol because of the tense situation in the area.
