Rio Claro residents breathed a sigh of relief on Friday morning when missing local Samson Mahadeo was found after a multi\u2011day search. Mahadeo, who was reported missing on August 30, had sparked a coordinated effort by volunteers and authorities to locate him. <\/p>\n
The man told rescuers that he had been abducted in the New Grant area on the morning of September 1 and held without food until his release on Friday. His account raised alarm among neighbors, prompting an early\u2011morning search that began at 6 a.m. on September 5. <\/p>\n
The Hunters Search and Rescue Team, under the leadership of Captain Vallence Rambharat, combed the Rio Claro district and finally spotted Mahadeo at approximately 8 a.m. Team members Vishnu Ramdial, Vinod, and Celine Ramnath rushed to his side, offering food and basic care before escorting him to the police station. <\/p>\n
At the Rio Claro Police Station, Mahadeo provided a brief statement reiterating his alleged abduction and the conditions he endured. Police officials said they would investigate the claims while thanking the volunteer rescuers for their swift action. <\/p>\n
