Robin Handique (Assamese:ৰবীন সন্দিকৈ) was a founding member of the banned terrorist outfit ULFA in Assam. He was an arms and explosive expert who later became a chief advisor of the outfit along with Bhimkanta Buragohain. He was in charge of five camps in Myanmar and also its Central Assam Commander for several years.^[1]

Death and its aftermath[edit]

Handique died of kidney failure^[3] on August 31, 2005 in a Tezpur hospital while in jail custody.^[1]^[2] But the outfit alleged that Handique's death was due to slow poisoning by the authorities.^[2]^[3] Arabinda Rajkhowa, the chairman of the outfit said that Handique had various ailments but was denied proper medical facilities.
