GUWAHATI: ONGC official Ritul Saikia is in Assam Police’s custody and is likely to reach home this evening, exactly a month after he was abducted by the ULFA(I)
Saikia reached Longwa in Nagaland’s Mon district near the Indo-Myanmar border early morning today.
He is expected to reunite with his family in Assam’s Borholla in Sivasagar district by today evening.
Ritul Saikia, along with two other employees of the Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited, Mohini Mohan Gogoi and Alakesh Saikia, were on April 21 kidnapped by suspected militants of the United Liberation Front of Asom (Independent) from the Lakwa oilfield in Sivasagar district along the Assam-Nagaland border.
Mohini Mohan Gogoi and Alakesh Saikia were rescued by security forces on April 24 after an encounter with the abductors near the India-Myanmar border in Mon district of Nagaland.
