Suspected Achik National Volunteers Council (ANVC) members abducted Ampati Secondary School headmaster Mohd Saharia on Thursday from the school premises. Police said he was abducted over mismanagement of the school.

According to West Garo Hills DSP Jobi Momin, seven armed men stormed the school of whom three had AK-47 rifles. Teachers present in the common room overheard them telling Saharia that they had been ordered to abduct him because he hadn’t managed the school well.

Momin said they have identified the route the abductors had taken.

The ANVC had abducted Bajengdoba SBI branch manager Satyaban Pareh recently for “not performing his duties well”.
