Thoubal, February 18 2022:
A man who was allegedly abducted by unknown persons from Thambal Keithel Makha in Andro AC on Thursday evening was found dumped in Thiyam Ching area on Friday.
The victim has been identified as Das Sagolsem (35) s/o Chandra of Andro Chingdong Leikai.
He is currently undergoing treatment at Yairipok CHC.
Recounting his ordeal to The People's Chronicle, Das said that he went out of home around 6pm Thursday to meet a friend in Angtha.
He first decided to fill up the gas and as such, went towards Yairipok.
After passing Thambalnu Keithel area, a black colored Fortuner Car stopped in front of him and three masked men with guns abducted and blindfolded him, before taking him to a house.
He recalled that the group then started beating him and threatening him not to be involved in the election campaign of NPP candidate L Sanjoy.
After detaining him for the night, the men then blindfolded him at daybreak, loaded him onto a vehicle and drove around.
They then opened the blindfold, told him his vehicle was at the foothill and returned him his phone and key to his vehicle.
They then threatened him to stay in the area till evening.
After some time he came to realise that he was in Thiyam Ching area.
Stating that it was unfortunate to threaten him and his family just because he is working for the candidate, Das raised suspicions that his abductors could be workers of a rival candidate.
He then drew the attention of all concerned to prevent a repeat of such incident in the future.
Meanwhile, Andro AC NPP candidate L Sanjoy visited Yairipok CHC to check on Das' condition.
