Guwahati, Aug 6 - A serving Indian Army colonel, who was reported abducted from Assam's main city of Guwahati Thursday afternoon, was found by a police team along with a woman in an adjoining town, a police official said.

Col. Dayal Kakoty of the Mahar Regiment was believed to have been kidnapped from the Sarania area here 12.15 p.m. when he came to visit his mother.

A police spokesperson said Col. Kakoty was found with a woman near Rangiya, about 70 km from here.

'We cannot say anything now as we have to first interrogate the army officer. He was found with a woman near Rangiya,' a senior police official said.

Earlier in the day, family members of Col. Kakoty filed a police report that he was kidnapped by someone when he was on his way to visit his mother.
