Mir Quasem's son 'picked up'

Ahmed Bin Quasem, son of top Jamaat leader and convicted war criminal Mir Quasem Ali, was allegedly picked up by some unidentified men last night from his Mirpur DOHS home in the capital.

“Five people rang our doorbell around 10:50pm. As I opened the door, they wanted to know whether Ahmed was home,” Tahmina Akhtar, the wife of Ahmed, told The Daily Star around 1:10am today.

“My husband wanted to know their identities. But they refused. And at one stage, they asked him to go with them and later took him away by a white microbus,” she said.

Tahmina also said that while leaving, one of them said, “Don't worry. We will return him.”

Contacted, Dadon Fakir, officer-in-charge of Pallabi Police Station, said they have learnt about the incident from the media. He, however, could not confirm it.
