Kidnapped Man Rescued in Guwahati, 8 Arrested; Police Seize Veer Lachit Sena Documents

In a swift late-night operation, Guwahati's Dispur Police rescued a man who had reportedly been abducted from outside Pratikshya Hospital in Borbari and apprehended eight individuals allegedly involved in the kidnapping.

According to police sources, the incident came to light when one Ershad Khan, a resident of Goalpara, informed police around 9:30 PM that his friend Rahul Mishra had been forcibly taken away by a group of 10–15 unidentified persons. The abductors allegedly demanded ₹15–20 lakh as ransom for his release.

Acting immediately, a police team from Dispur Police Station launched a search operation and tracked down the kidnappers to Tribeni Path. The victim was found being held in two vehicles bearing registration numbers AS01 EM 0718 and AS23 Q 3566.
