Armed assailants have kidnapped six World Wildlife Fund workers in northeast India's Manas National Park, a police spokesman said on Monday.
The six environmentalists, including three women, were carrying out an elephant and tiger census in the park in the foothills of the eastern Himalayas.
"The gunmen were all masked," the spokesman said.
Police suspect the outlawed National Democratic Front of Bodoland to be behind the abduction. The group is fighting for the establishment of an independent country north of the Brahmaputra River, where the national park is located.
