Om Prakash Singh, 23, of Nepalgunj-2, and Srijan Thapa, 21, of Nepalgunj-16, were rescued from bordering Jayaspur when they were being taken to Nanpara, India by Nizamuddin Sheikh. “We were alarmed when he started to call his other friends as we approached the border,” Singh said. [break]
Thapa said though Sheikh promised the duo fun at his uncle´s house across the border, he suddenly started behaving in a strange manner once they approached the border.
“When we refused to go further, he started forcing us to go. We had a heated argument for a while, and the police came and rescued us,” Thapa said about the incident.
Banke Police said they had received a tip-off about a possible abduction of two persons a day before the incident.
Chief of Banke Police Dinesh Amatya claimed Sheikh, a drug addict, was also involved in abduction and killing of two students, Kapil Dwibedi and Lila Dhwaj Bhatta, last year.
