Kidnapped Indian likely to be released today

Staff Correspondent  SHILLONG, July 29: Bangladeshi people kidnapped Indian villager Daminy Dkhar from a paddy field in Rongkhun village in Jaintia Hills, said to be an area under “adverse possession” of India, out of vengeance.  Even as the BSF has extracted an assurance that Dkhar would be released on Friday, Bangladeshi people managed to enter the area “under adverse possession” that is well under the control of the Indian frontier forces.  Sources said Dkhar was kept in the custody of the Bangladesh Police after the BDR rescued the Indian villager from the clutches of the Bangladeshi miscreants. Bangladeshi civilians are known for their desperate act on many counts. They vented their anger on the vulnerable ones when Indian villagers held up a number of Bangladeshi-owned cows that entered their village.  The BSF confirmed that Dkhar was taken by Bangladeshis from the “land under India’s possession”.  BSF spokesman Ravi Gandhi said, “Our (BSF) field officers contacted their counterparts and we expect that Dkhar will be released by Friday.”  Admitting that Bangladeshi miscreants were well inside the disputed land under India’s possession, Gandhi said unwarranted acts by Bangladeshi civilians was a cause for concern, especially when the BDR had restrained themselves from any misadventure in the past one month.  Ronkhun under Rangtilla border outpost (BOP) is one area where the BDR had resorted to unprovoked firing in the recent past. Sources in Rongkhun village said, “We are anxious to know about Dkhar. Even agricultural activities have come to a standstill (after Dkhar’s kidnapping)”.
