Drilling superintendent PK Gogoi (51), a resident of Sivasagar district, and radio operator Ram Kumar (35) from Bihar were kidnapped in Changlang district of Arunachal Pradesh on December 21.

Earlier, the ULFA-Independent had set February 16 as the deadline for Oil Company – Quippo Oil and Gas Infrastructure Limited, to secure the release of its employee Ram Kumar, failing which will result in him getting shot.

Furthermore, the ULFA-I also claimed that the central intelligence agencies along with the Chief ministers of Assam and Arunachal Pradesh will be responsible if OIL employees die.
