GUWAHATI: A miscreant duo accompanied a B. Tech student, Ilius Ahmed, to a picnic at Hatisila near Panikhaiti on Saturday. After the picnic, the duo held Ilius hostage and demanded a ransom of Rs 10 lakh from his father.
The abductors asked Ilius’ father not to inform the police of the incident. However, Ilius’ father reported the Pragjyotishpur and Noonmati police stations, besides the Panikhaiti outpost, of the incident. The police swung into action through a series of technical analyses, including the tracing of their mobile phones. The police traced the duo—Mominul Haque (3), hailing from Abhoyapuri, and Nurul Amin (40), hailing from Mere Sar—at a petrol depot near Forest Gate in the Noonmati area. The police rescued the student and arrested the duo who claimed to be journalists working in a new portal.
