The bodies of three more persons kidnapped by suspected NDFB-S militants were recovered from Beki River in Assam's Baksa district today even as police fired in the air to disperse a mob holding a protest against the kidnapping in violation of indefinite curfew in Salbari sub-division.

"We have recovered three more bodies this morning from Beki river. We do not know the type of injuries these bodies have. The details will be known after the investigation," Baksa Deputy Commissioner Vinod Seshan told PTI. With this, the bodies of all the four kidnapped yesterday, including two teenaged boys have been found.

The first one, bearing a cut mark on the head, was recovered last evening from the river in Barpeta district. The bodies recovered today were identified to be those of Ataur Rahman, 27, Rubul Amin, 45, and Saddam Ali, 13, while that of Bakar Ali,13, was found yesterday.
