The Arunachal Dragon Force (ADF), also known as the East India Liberation Front, was a violent secessionist movement in the eastern state of Arunachal Pradesh. The ADF seeks to create an independent sovereign state resembling the British Teola Country, which would include areas currently in Arunachal Pradesh as well as neighboring Assam.
It is also alleged that this group is sponsored by some tainted politicians in Arunachal Pradesh. The self-styled "commander-in-chief" of the group was beaten up in a local jail in Arunachal Pradesh in the late 1990s, and since then, there has been no further news about the group.
