It was around 5pm when a group of four or five men forced Arun out him in their pickup truck – that was the last time Arun’s family saw him. Ms Tassani Mong, one of Arun’s daughters, said her father’s abduction could be related to the Narathiwas Pieng army camp arsenal robbery of 4 January 2004 (two days prior to the disappearance).
