Survey engineer Deep Mondal, who was abducted by Bru men and NLFT militants on November 23 last year and has been in captivity since then in Bangladesh, was released by the abductors last night, police said.

Police officials told PTI over phone from Mizoram-Bangladesh border that Mondal was brought to the Mizoram border early this morning.

"He would undergo thorough medical checkup before proceeding towards Aizawl," the officials said.

Mondal, 25, a survey engineer working with Noida-based Telecom Network Solution, was abducted from Tuipuibari in Mamit district of Mizoram, near Bangladesh border along with two Mizo drivers.

While the two Mizos - Sanglianthanga and Lalzawmliana were released on January 21, Mondal remained in captivity as the abductors continued to demand ransom for his release.
