“He trekked for almost 13 hours from the forest where he was held captive to the town because the bandits refused to give him a lift to the main road. “He was moving helplessly in the forest, trying to locate the main road until he arrived at one village and was guided by the villagers on the direction to follow.”DOWNLOAD THE PUNCH NEWS APP NOW ON
