5 Assam rifles men held for abduction

Sibsagar, Jun 1: Five Assam Rifles men have been arrested on Saturday for alleged attempts to rape and kill a woman after kidnapping her in upper Assam’s Jorhat district.

Around 11.30 pm on Friday, five AR uniformed men in a Gypsy vehicle forcibly took away the woman (around 20 years old) when she was returning home from a nearby function at Garali, the heart of Jorhat town, DSP Deepak Choudhury said.As the securitymen were speeding away with the woman towards their camp on the outskirts of the town, their vehicle hit a speed-breaker and turned turtle, throwing out all the six persons, Mr Choudhury said.

At that moment, the woman managed to escape, while the Assam Rifles men straightened their vehicle and attempted to flee towards their camp, he said.

On the way, a patrolling party halted them and took the five into custody.
