Law enforcers fail to trace 'abducted' man in 28 days

Law enforcers could not make any breakthrough in their search for a private service holder who had been “abducted” 28 days ago in the capital's Banani.

ASM Farhan Hossain, son of Shahadat Hossain of Rupnagar, used to work as relationship manager at DNS Software Ltd. On May 11, Farhan went outside the office around 4:40pm, informing his colleagues that he would be back in a while. He even left his laptop and bag on his office desk but did not return, the father said.

Shahadat immediately lodged a general diary with Rupnagar police and then another one with Banani police. He even informed Rab-4.

On May 16, an unknown caller demanded TK 25,000 from Farhan's father saying that the amount had been spent for keeping his son with them for five days. “We sent TK 20,000 to a B-kash account no, given by the caller, and afterwards, their numbers were switched off”, Shahadat claimed.

Then the family filed an abduction case with Banani police station on May 23. Banani police and Rab-4 officials said they are probing the incident. 

His father now wants that the Detective Branch of police to take the case for a quick probe.
