Assam minister asks Ulfa to set free his son
The Statesman/ ANN, Guwahati
Running out of options, Assam hill areas development minister GC Langthasa today appealed to the Ulfa to release his abducted son Nirmalendu, who has been in the militants' custody since 27 April.The minister's family lodged an FIR about the abduction only on 25 May after their efforts to secure Nirmalendu's release came a cropper. Police suspected that the minister's son was taken hostage for ransom. But on 27 May, the outfit had demanded release of five of its senior leaders who, they alleged, were in custody of the Indian Army after being handed over by Royal Bhutan Army during its crackdown on Ulfa camps in the Himalayan kingdom in December. Langthasa issued a statement asking the Ulfa to be humane and release his son without delay.
