A Correspondent

Bokajan/Dokmoka: In a major development, Karbi Anglong Police on Wednesday rescued a businessman who was kidnapped on the night of September 13 from his residence-cum-commercial establishment at Doboka in the Karbi Anglong-Hojai border.

As reported, businessman Bijoy Agarwal was kidnapped at gunpoint by three motorbike-borne youths when he was closing his business establishment on the night of September 13. A ransom call of Rs 1 crore was made to the victim’s family for his safe release.

Meanwhile, a fear psychosis prevailed in the area and the Karbi Anglong Police were under tremendous pressure following the incident. Police launched a massive investigation and probed various leads in the case. A series of multiple operations in the neighbouring State of Nagaland, including areas of Hojai and Karbi Anglong, later led to the recovery of the victim from a deserted house in Howraghat- a few kilometres away from where he was kidnapped. Three persons, as identified by the victim, Tapan Teron, Sanjay Gowala and Janak Basumatary were arrested in connection. They are residents of Howraghat town. Police have also seized a motorbike which was reportedly used in the kidnapping.
