Guwahati, Oct. 6: The anti-talks faction of the NDFB is luring youths with easy money to carry out abductions for them.
Such an instance came to light when police rescued Rohan Dutta — a 20-year-old BBA student who was abducted from the city on Monday night — from Dhekiajuli in Sonitpur district in the wee hours today.
Nine youths, including two students of a city college, who had allegedly abducted him to hand him over to the NDFB rebels, have been arrested.
A laptop, two mobile pho-nes and the hired vehicle, a Mahindra Bolero bearing registration number AS 12 D/9488 used in the abduction, has been seized by the police.
The accused are Parashar Das, 19, Pranjit Lahkar, 20 — both second semester students of biochemistry at the Regional College of Higher Education at Hatigaon — Rafiqul Islam, 21, Chandan Daimary, 22, Debo Basumatary, 21, Khaju Sing Daimary, 19, Nitul Barman, 23, Sansu Ram Daimary, 19, and driver of the Bolero, Mizing Daimary, 19.
The police said the abductors had taken Rohan to Borsola in the Dhekiajuli police station area, where he was kept in a house, to hand him over to the NDFB militants.
“They had struck a deal with the NDFB that they will carry out the abduction and hand over the victim in return of a share of the ransom money,” a police officer of Dispur police station said.
He said Pranjit Lahkar has links with NDFB rebels, who offered him the deal.
“Pranjit discussed it with his classmate Parashar, who suggested that they can abduct Rohan since he is from a well-to-do family and both his parents are doctors. The duo along with their friends carried out the abduction,” the officer said.
Parashar stays at a rented house near the victim’s residence in Janakpur.
Rohan, who is pursuing his BBA in Delhi, had come home about a week ago on Puja vacation.
