Abducted Indian national escapes captors

From ABS-CBN (Dec 27): Abducted Indian national escapes captors

An Indian national who was abducted in Barangay Landasan, Parang, Maguindanao was able to escape his captors early Friday after being held captive for over a month.

Krishan Singh Arora was rescued by police authorities in Purok 2, Barangay Piraka in Sultan Naga Dimaporo, Lanao del Norte at around 6 a.m.

Senior Inspector Junberth Dahili, chief of Sultan Naga Dimaporo police, said they received information regarding the presence of a kidnap victim in the area.

Arora, 53, was abducted by around 10 men in his house last November 13.

Arora said 7 of his captors, who he said were led by a certain Commander Aguila, were wearing masks to cover their faces.

He said the suspects used pepper spray and pointed a gun at him. He was brought to Nunungan, Lanao del Norte.

He said he was unharmed during his captivity, but was guarded by around three to five men all the time.

Arora, who is the chief managing director of Cresencia C. Alberto Mining and Resources Trading, said his company paid his captors P200,000 as ransom last December 11, but the suspects refused to release him.

He said he was fortunate that at one moment today, his guards fell asleep, giving him the opportunity to escape.

Meanwhile, Arora expressed gratitude to the police and the residents who helped him.
Manhunt operations have already been launched against Arora's captors.
