Imphal, July 22 (ANI): Two children, who were sedated by their abductors, managed to flee from their captivity after two days here.

The under-teenaged children, Lairenlakpam Nganba and Ngangbam Kuber, were abducted by some unidentified persons on July 19 from Lamai area of Imphal and put under sedation.

"We were on our way for some work when suddenly a van stopped beside us. Some men came out and forced us inside the van. There were four men in the van," said Ngangbam Kuber Singh, one of the escaped children.
