Vice chairman of Sadar Hills Autonomous District Council (ADC) Hankholal Hanshing has been kidnapped by some miscreants late last night from a place in Imphal.

A week ago, ADC members led by Hankholal Hanshing had moved against ADC chairman SH Seipu.
Meanwhile, four personnel of Manipur Rifles, who were deployed at the house of Sadar Hills ADC chairman SH Seipu, have been picked up by the police in connection with the abduction incident, the police source added.
