‘Please bring my father back’
The son of missing IT professional Ataur Rahman Shahin yesterday pleaded Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina for her direction on the authorities concerned to take necessary steps to rescue his father.
“Please bring my father back to me,” nine-year-old Tashdeed Aan Nafee, a student of class four at European Standard School, made an emotional appeal at a press conference in the city.
His father remained missing since May 2, after unidentified men shoved him into a microbus in front of Akij House at Tejgaon Industrial area as he was waiting there for a ride-sharing service personnel to pick him up.
“My father was supposed to return home that evening. But he has remained traceless for two months... I want his safe return,” a distressed Nafee said.
“I have a small child and I am also pregnant with our second child. I am living an uncertain life with my husband missing,” said Nafee’s mother Tania Akter.
The family filed a general diary with Tejgaon Industrial Police Station on the night of the incident and later a case on May 4.
A CCTV camera captured the abduction incident. Video footages of nearby CCTV cameras show Shahin was shoved into a white microbus around 8:05pm on that day. Police could not find any details about the abductors and the whereabouts of the victim, the family said.
“We left no stone unturned. Everyone is just consoling us, saying my husband will return but it has been two long months already,” Tania said in a chocked voice.
The woman said her husband had no professional enmity or family feud.
Ataur completed his education in India’s Bangalore, specialising in software engineering. He used to live with his family in Dhaka’s Mirpur area.
He was working as an assistant manager at Bengal Glass Company.
