Two suspected kidnappers were arrested by Dolamara police from Dadhara village in Assam’s Karbi Anglong district on Saturday.
A source said Bidya Sing Terang and Lison Terang of Dolamara had allegedly abducted one Md Ikramul Haque of Lahorighat from a labour camp of a bridge construction site at Malashi Nihanghat in Dolamara in Morigaon district on December 8.
Haque was rescued by the police on December 16 from Jagdamba tea estate in Jakhalabandha but the suspected kidnappers managed to escape.
However, acting on specific information, Dolamara police apprehended the two on Saturday for allegedly abducting Haque. They were arrested under Section 364 of the IPC (case No. 4/19) after verification of facts.
The confessions of the arrested duo during interrogation led to the recovery of a countrymade gun, a few rounds of ammunition and gun powder from the forests of Langhunjar hill.
Investigations are on, the police said.
