Itanagar, Nov 26: Security forces have failed to trace the whereabouts of the two persons abducted by a 10 member heavily armed group from NSCN (K-YA).
Sources said that the two abducted persons, including a junior engineer, have been taken over to their camp at Myanmar.
“Forty eight hours have passed, but security forces are still clueless to find the whereabouts of the abducted persons. It has become a routine affair in Arunachal Pradesh where in every month such cases were reported,” said a local resident.
Meanwhile, a joint operation was launched, but security forces have failed to trace the abducted persons.
The abducted persons are junior engineer Vignesh Kumar Jha and Overseer Bishnu Chetry.
They were abducted from a bridge construction site between Pongchau and Konnu village in the Longding district of Arunachal Pradesh.
The militants also took away 18 mobile handsets from the workers along with some cash.
It has been learned that the kidnapping was carried by listed NSCN (K-YA) leader Akham Konyak.
“This is not the first time in Arunachal Pradesh. Similar abduction happened where the militant demanded a heavy ransom. The NSCN(K-YA) has been operating in the TCL (Tirap, Changlang, Longding) region of Arunachal Pradesh. This eastern districts of Arunachal Pradesh share its international border with Myanmar, and it is very easy for the insurgents to penetrate and carry out activities,” said a retired police official.
