Even as one of the three youths who was abducted by Kuki militants while they were enroute to Kethelmanbi on September 27 has reportedly been rescued, the other two have been taken hostage by Kuki militants.
All three of them viz Oinam Thoithoi (26), s/o Yaima; Ningombam Johnson (25) s/o Sanjoy and Thokchom Thoithoiba (27), s/o Ibotombi are residents of Thoubal Khekman and they went to New Keithelmanbi where recruitment drive of SSC (General Duty) was held together in a motorcycle.
They, however, took a wrong route and ended up venturing at Motbung side which has become unsafe for Meeteis to traverse.
