“The troops rescued the victims. Investigations revealed that the captives were kidnapped in a neighbouring state.

“Also recovered from the bandits were nine rustled animals, comprising one cow and eight sheep,’’ the commissioner stated.

Aruwan added that the rescued persons had been reunited with their families.
