Case filed against six unidentified persons
Journalist Golam Sarwar, who was abducted on October 29 and discovered four days later, yesterday filed a case with the port city's Kotwali Police Station accusing six unidentified people.
Sarwar was accompanied by some senior leaders of Chattogram Union of Journalists (CUJ) when he went to the station to file the case.
Officer-in-Charge (OC) Mohamed Mohsin of Kotwali Police Station confirmed the filing, saying that police are still investigating the incident and trying to arrest the criminals.
Before filing the case, Sarwar talked to media at the office of CUJ and described his experience of the abduction and torture.
He said he still feels frightened every time he remembers the traumatic incident.
He thanked his colleagues and journalist union leaders for coming to his support.
"I demand the immediate arrest of the criminals so that no one dares to repeat such an incident with other journalists," Sarwar told journalists there.
Mohammed Ali, President of CUJ, said "We (CUJ) have formed a lawyer's panel to fight the legal battle against the abductors."
"We will provide all kinds of support to Golam Sarwar so that he can move the case without any difficulties," said Mohammed Ali.
After going missing from the port city on October 29, the journalist working with a local online news portal was found unconscious beside a canal at Sitakunda's Kumira area on the evening of November 1.
He was found lying at the spot stripped off his clothes.
