After being rescued the boy was immediately handed over to his parents by the District Police Office, Saptari.
Meanwhile, cadres of Jwala Singh faction of Jantantrik Terai Mukti Morcha (JTMM–J) have abducted two innocent people in Saptari district late last night, despite announcing a unilateral ceasefire till November 17 for Chhath festival in which they have promised suspension of all armed activities including abduction.
An armed group of 4 to 5 JTMM-J cadres broke into the houses of Ram Dev Yadav, 25, of Patthargaudha VDC-5 and Sibu Yadav of Chapena VDC-9 and took them to an undisclosed location, RSS reported.
JTMM-J district coordinator Kaushal claimed responsibility for the abduction by telephoing local media persons and said the two were abducted for “purchasing land against the decision of the party” and acting as a informer.
