Abduction case filed against ex-deputy minister Dulu, 8 BNP men


An abduction case was filed against 9 BNP leaders including former deputy minister for food and disaster Asadul Habib Dulu in a magistrate court in Lalmonirhat yesterday.

Borobari union unit of Awami League Secretary Rafiqul Islam Bakul lodged the case before the court of Abu Saleh Mohammad Mohiuddin.

According to the complainant, the former deputy minister and other BNP leaders abducted him at 9:00am on January 01, 2003 and kept him hostage until 5:00am on the next day.

The other accused BNP leaders are Yasin Ali Mollah, Monayemul Islam, Nurul Islam, Ziaul Hoque Patwari, Faruque Siddique, Abul Hosen, Firoj Siddique and Abu Tasen.

Rafiqul said they had abducted him so that he can not submit nomination paper for Barobari Union Council election.

He added that he did not dare to lodge any complain against them at that time as Dulu had an influence over the local administration.

The magistrate ordered the officer-in-charge of Lalmonirhat sadar police station to take necessary steps.
