SHILLONG: BSF troops deployed at Halchatti in West Garo Hills on Sunday secured the release of Uttam Koch (34), Nokma of Halchatti village, from the clutches of Bangladeshi kidnappers.
The BSF in a statement issued to the media on Sunday said the troops while performing patrolling noticed some suspected movement and flashed search lights towards the area and found that around eight unknown      persons were trying to enter Bangladesh from India.
The BSF troops immediately challenged the abductors, but the miscreants fled towards the Bangladesh side taking advantage of the darkness leaving behind one person.
When BSF troops reached the spot the person who was left behind identified himself as a Nokma.
“He was being abducted by the Bangladeshi kidnappers from Halchatti village and they were trying to shift him to Bangladesh,” the BSF statement said.
The BSF lodged a protest to its counterpart in Bangladesh against illegal infiltration of criminals from Bangladesh into Indian territory and their ex-filtration.
