Kidnapping for ransom shatters peace in Arunachal

Arunachal Pradesh, which is known as an oasis of peace in the North-East, is now facing serious problem as the National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB) has now started kidnapping innocent Arunachalis for ransom.

During the last couple of months kidnapping has become a a regular phenomenon in this part of the North-East. What is more worrying that taking a leaf out of NDFB’s book, some other militant organisations  have also started demanding money from the peace loving Arunachalis.

Tadap Nabam, a businessman from Seijosa in East Kameng district, was kidnapped by NDFB militants and was released after couple of days. Heavily armed militants kidnapped businessmen Hulash Todi from the State capital Itanagar. Todi was released after paying a ransom. Recently, Logu Tayem, a businessman and Vikram Whage, aged 16, of Seijosa  village were kidnapped by the NDFB militants. Their fate is still unknown till the time of filing this report though security forces have launched a massive operation to free them from their kidnappers.
