MAWKYRWAT: One more person from South West Khasi Hills’ Nongjri area has been kidnapped by suspected Bangladeshi miscreants.
This is the second kidnap in less than three months.
Ricky Marwein (34) was kidnapped around 12.30 am on Saturday, Superintendent of Police, H.G. Lyngdoh said.
Marwein is a gatekeeper of the Hashah clan at Umsur village. A group of about seven miscreants barged into his room at night with arms and iron rods and kidnapped him, said Lyngdoh.
“They even took away Rs 5,000-6,000 in cash and a two-wheeler,” the SP added.
A case has been registered at Ranikor police station and search operation has started. “We are also seeking assistance from the Bangladesh police,” Lyngdoh said.
On April 27, 18-year-old Dajied Syiemlieh of Umthied village near Mairang in West Khasi Hills was abducted by a group of Bangladeshis from the same village. He was rescued by Bangladeshi police on May 15 from Kolchanda village under Sherpur district.
“He is in safe custody in Bangladesh and will be handed over (to his family) after receiving clearance from the Bangladesh Home Ministry,” official sources said.
