"Police were at heels when Premlal, my colleague, refused to budge, the militants shot him before shoving me to the ground," Lalbhurgi says while narrating his harrowing tryst with the ultras.
Bhajranglal Lalbhurgi (44) along with his co-worker Premlal Dhiman(48) were taken in ten days captivity by Hailakandi (Assam)-based UDLA cadres.
Lalbhurgi, a commercial manager in a private construction firm, said the AK-47 totting militants abducted them in the wee hours of June 6 from their camp near Meidum village in Kolasib district in northern Mizoram where they were engaged in road construction.
"The abductors made us walk in jungle for over two hours before entering into a house of Bengali people who offered us tea," he said.
After spending in the jungle for days together, the kidnappers took them into a farm hut, located near Banglabasha village in the Hailakandi district bordering Mizoram.
In the face of police firing, they shot at Premlal, who refused to move with them and left the spot.
Freed from the clutches of death, Lalbhurgi is now a happy man. Meanwhile, Premlal, who had been treated at Aizawl Civil Hospital, was airlifted to Kolkata today for better medical treatment, sources said.
