The 56-year-old man and his family were having dinner, when the armed men barged into their house and took the man and his 24-year-old son. The son was, however, released a few hours after abduction.
The 57-year-old man who lived nearby was taken when he went out to check the commotion. The two boys had gone out to take bath, when the incident took place.
Family members said the armed men also searched the houses and enquired about the male members of the family.
Meanwhile, the family members have received phone calls demanding for an undisclosed amount as ransom.
This is the first abduction case reported this year.
