Police suspect enmity between father, abductors
Cousin comes to the rescue of the five-year old Sami who went missing on Sunday when his mother was racing to save her husband from an abduction attempt at Shyamoli in the city.
Sami’s cousin Nasima Begum found him alone crying in front of a shop at Kallayanpur and took him to her Mirpur residence.
Mother Sumi Begum brought Sami home after getting a call from Nasima yesterday morning, said Mosharraf Hossain, Sami’s father.
He said Nasima tried to over-phone contact them after she found Sami on Sunday, but finding their mobile phones switched off and not knowing the way to their residence, she took Sami to her own residence.
Rozibul Islam, Investigation Officer (IO) of the case, said they conducted several drives to find Sami after the incident, and later were informed that he was taken by one of his relatives at Mirpur.
Nasima found Sami when she was passing by the area of the incident, police said.
Sami got lost on Sunday when his mother Sumi left him behind at a roadside in Shaymoli to chase the car in which four youths abducted her husband. Locals helped Sumi to free Mosharraf and to catch two of the abductors.
The other two abductors, however, managed to flee taking away Tk 4 lakh from Mosharraf’s possession. Later, Mosharraf filed a mugging case with Sher-e-Bangla Nagar Police Station.
Officer-in-Charge (OC) Reaz Hossain said police would further investigate on the amount that the abductors had actually mugged from Mosharraf.
He also suspects that personal enmity exists between the abductors and Mosharraf from before.
Police said to have sent the abductors at hand, Bakhtiar and Zayed, to a Dhaka court seeking a three-day remand for both.
Police also received identities of the two abductors on the run and are trying to arrest them, said the IO Rozibul.
