Headlines 06:33
IMPHAL, August 3: DGP Y Joykumar Singh gave his assurance that the seven kidnapped persons including two engineers of IFCD, and two employees of a Kolkata based company will be rescued soon and the police are doing their best.
Speaking with this IFP reporter over the telephone, the police officer said that it was a big mistake that the IFCD engineers along with the two outsiders went to the place without any security escorts.
Security escorts have always been provided to the IFCD officials whenever they go at far flung places in the state for official purpose, the officer said.
It is still questionable why the IFCD officials did not ask to provide security escorts on that day visit when another team of IFCD officials on the same day including its Executive Engineer visited Maphou Dam asked for security escort and they were provided, the police officer maintained while adding that the police are investigating the case in details.
Police have also contacted the leaders of UG groups who have signed SoO pact with the government to help in the rescue mission, the police officer said.
“As it is case of kidnapping it is complicated and police cannot rush things as it may cause harm to the kidnapped victims. However, I believed that they will be rescued soon safe and sound,” he said.
The police officer maintained that the motive behind the kidnapping is for ransom from IFCD.
