Chetia along with two other associates were handed over to the Indian security agencies at Bangladesh border.
Reports said that Chetia's extradition was only possible after Prime Minsiter Narendra Modi personally inetervened and sorted out the matter with Bangladesh.
The ULFA's founder general secretary was arrested in Bangladesh in 1997 and was under detention on completion of his seven-year jail term for cross-border intrusion, carrying fake passports and illegally keeping foreign currencies.
Chetia had earlier sought asylum in that country.
However, following the return of Arabinda Rajkhowa and negotiations of ULFA (pro-talks) faction with the Centre, Chetia "withdrew" his asylum request.
On November 30, 2009, ULFA co-founder Arabinda Rajkhowa was also arrested near Dhaka and repatriated to India, but was later released on bail from the Guwahati Central Jail on January 1, 2011.
