Amini's son 'picked up'

Fazlul Haque Amini, chairman of an Islami Oikya Jote (IOJ) faction, claimed that plain-clothes law enforcers picked up his son yesterday morning at Sutrapur in the capital.

He said all law enforcement agencies are now denying that they have his son.

Talking to The Daily Star, Amini said, "A team of plain-clothes law enforcers picked up my younger son Abul Hasanat from Dholaikhal where he went to get his car repaired around 11:00am."

"They picked up my son in front of two of his friends,” said Amini, adding, "I am not sure whether Rab or the police took my son. I do not know why they picked him up and where are they keeping him."

Amini's elder son Abul Farah told The Daily Star that five to six people with firearms and wireless sets picked up his brother and took him away on a sports utility vehicle that had tinted windows.

Contacted, Wari Division Deputy Commissioner of Police Gazi Mozammel Huq, DC Md Monirul Islam of Detective Branch (south) and Commander M Sohail, Legal and Media Wing of Rab, said they did not arrest any of Amini's sons.
