IMPHAL, March 6 NNN: Abducted Nitin Masih from Madhya Pradesh was released by his kidnappers on Wednesday morning after over three months of captivity.
Narrating the ordeal to reporters at the quarter of Kakching constituency MLA Y Surchandra in Imphal, Nitin said on November 24, 2012 he was kidnapped by some unknown persons from his wife’s parental village Kakching Pallel Lamkhai in Thoubal district in Manipur.
The kidnappers came in a van while he drove a scooter when suddenly they abducted him at gun point, he said. He was going to his father-in-law’s paddy field in the village on that day, he added.
He was put inside the van and then the kidnappers injected him with a drug which caused him unconscious. Then, he was inside a dark room when he came to his senses.
However, the kidnappers gave him proper food regularly during the over three-month long captivity, he said.
He said they spoke Hindi fluently and he always told them he was only a bread-earner of his family that he could not pay any kind of ransom. But, they told him that he was not the person they wanted to kidnap.
“They gave him tranquilizers most of the time so he slept nearly all the day,” he said.
On Wednesday morning, they took him out of the place in a van and released him by the unknown kidnappers near Kangpokpi along National Highway-2, Nitin Masih added.
He then came to Khuman Lampak in Imphal in a truck and from there he went to one of his friend’s house near Jawaharlal Nehru Institute of Medical Sciences (JNIMS) here. Later, he talked to his wife over phone and then came to the MLA’s quarter, he added.
Nitin, an x-ray technician by profession, is a native of Indore in Madhya Pradesh. His wife is a Manipuri.
