A school teacher, who

is also a church leader, was kidnapped by armed miscreants

from his home in South Garo Hills district in the early hours

Wednesday, police said.

The upper primary school teacher, identified as

Sundaybirth Ch Marak (43), was sleeping at his Kakhija village

home, when a group of six men came to his house and two

persons knocked on his door, SP of South Garo Hills district,

Abraham T Sangma, said.

When Marak went to open the door, he was immediately

taken away by two armed assailants at around 12:30 am, he

said.

Marak is a teacher in the Kenegre Upper Primary School

and the assistant pastor of the Lower Kakhija Baptist Church.

He is also the elder brother of Garoland State

Movement Committee (GSMC) co-chairman, Balkarin Ch Marak.

"Two people came with guns and took him from his

house. He was scared after seeing the guns and left without

resisting. We appeal to his abductors to release him without

harm as he has three children and is also a church elder,"

Balkarin Ch Marak said.

Search operations have been launched by the police,

the SP said.
