(Update): The Deputy Chief of Bodoland Territory Council (BTC), Kampa Borgoyari, visited Gakiling Gewog today in connection with the two abduction cases that happened in Sarpang Dzongkhag in the past two months.
He said the incidents that happened were unfortunate and apologised to the Bhutanese people and the government on behalf of the BTC for the mistake made by his people.
He met with the villagers and assured them that all the miscreants involved will be arrested and dealt accordingly.
The first abduction case of a taxi driver was reported in October, when the driver went missing from Dekiling in Gelephu. After 18 days, he was released after a ransom was paid.
The second case was reported in November when a 60-year-man was abducted at a gunpoint in Gakidling. He was released on December 6 after paying a ransom.
