During the operation, two individuals, allegedly involved in the abduction of Saiyur Uddin, were arrested.
The duo was later identified as Salim Uddin (24), a resident of Lalpani Part-Il village in Jiribam district of Manipur, and Soriful Islam (26), hailing from Akbarpur village in Karimganj district of Assam.
Though the case of abduction has been registered in Jirighat Police Station under Lakhipur subdivision of Assam’s Cachar district, the arrested duo is currently in the custody of Manipur’s Jiribam police.
In a coordinated effort, the Manipur Police will now hand over the accused duo to their Assam counterpart, as the alleged abduction took place under the latter’s jurisdiction.
