Imphal, April 18 2013:
A 14-year old fencer with Sports Authority of India, Khuman Lampak Sports Complex was kidnapped after being drugged yesterday.
The boy was taken home the same night after family members were informed that he has been found at Yairipok Khoirom.
Family source said the boy went to buy eatables from his hostel at SAI last evening at Telepati side after crossing a suspension bridge.
Unidentified men who came in a white colour Maruti Van stopped the boy on the pretext of enquiring something.
One of the men took out his hankerchief and sprayed some anaesthetic powder and draped it around the boy's nostrils.
The boy was then pushed into the vehicle and sped off.
When the boy regained consciousness, he found himself alone at a place that looks like a market.
None of the men were present inside the Van then.
Taking advantage, he descended from the vehicle and ran away from the spot.
He had also slept at a waiting shed, not far away from the place where he was left alone inside the Van, due to the aftereffect of the drug.
Information was relayed to his family members by residents of Yairipok Khoirom after coming across the boy.
Family members also later established that the place where the Van halted as Yairipok Bazar.
He was taken home the same night.
The boy had reported back to his hostel at SAI only yesterday after spending some days at his home.
