“The miscreants abducted the employees in an operational vehicle belonging to ONGC. Later, the vehicle was found abandoned near the Nimonagarh jungles close to the Assam-Nagaland border,” read the press statement.

The company also stated that they had informed the local administration.

“The militant group has started their old tactic of kidnapping to create pressure on the company for money. ULFA (I) always target the ONGC, OIL and tea industries of the region. The militant group is not in a good position, and that is why they have started kidnapping to make some money,” said a police official.

Further details awaited.
