Abducted Benapole AL leader traceless for 4 days

An Awami League leader of Benapole municipality unit, who was 'abducted' four days ago, still remains traceless.

The victim is Mahtab Uddin, joint secretary of the unit, said party sources.

A gang abducted Mahtab from Aricha Ferry terminal in Manikganj district on June 24 while he was returning to Benapole from Dhaka by a bus around 2:00am.

The family came up with the allegation at a press conference held at Benapole land port the following day.

Earlier on the day, Shahjalal Shohel, son of the victim, filed a case with Shibalaya Police Station in Manikganj in this connection.

Shohel's sister Sadia Afrin Rima at the conference sought the prime minister's intervention to take steps in this regard.

Sirajul Haque Manju, president of Sharsha upazila unit of AL, Ahmad Ali, president of Benapole municipality unit of AL, and its general secretary Nasir Uddin, among others, were present at the programme.
