While a version claimed that the
kidnappers released the victims to the management and representatives of
the parents, another account indicated that security forces found the
tired victims wandering in the forest behind the school premises.
A source who spoke on account of
anonymity, said the kidnappers succumbed to the massive pressure mounted
