Two unidentified men stopped a youth on motorcycle Tuesday night in Thellippazhai, located next to the High Security Zone (HSZ) of occupying Sri Lanka Army (SLA) in Valikaamam North and abducted him on his motorcycle. The youth managed to escape the abductors and sought protection at Thellippazhai police station, sources in Thellippazhai said. The men could not have abducted the youth without the knowledge of the SLA soldiers present in the place, the sources said.

The abducted youth is A. Kajan, 21, a resident of Eazhaalai. He was returning home after attending a temple festival in Thellippazhai.

The police took Kajan to his home.

The place where the abduction took place is not permitted for resettlement by SLA and under constant watch by SLA soldiers.
