Eyewitnesses from the village said they abducted over 20 people from the village.
“In one house, they kidnapped over 10 women and they moved away with them,” the source added.
The villagers also said that military operatives had been swiftly deployed to the axis.
“We saw two Hilux vans loaded with military personnel in the village but before they arrived the bandits had left,” the source said.
However, there was no official report from the government or the state police command at the time of filing this report.
