Abducted teen found murdered
Over two months into his abduction, a teenage boy was found murdered at Keshoreganj Bazar in Phulbaria upazila yesterday.
Victim Mehedi Hasan Babu, 15, son of Shahjahan Ali of Shibpur village, got GPA-5 in this year's SSC examinations. He went out of his house on March 6 and remained missing since then.
The following day, Minara Khatun received a message from her son's mobile phone demanding Tk 6 lakh for his safe return and not to disclose the matter to others, the mother said, adding that since then Babu's phone was found switched-off.
Later, a general diary was filed with Phulbaria Police Station. Police then detained HSC examinee Mohammad Tushar, 19, for his alleged involvement in the abduction and took him on a two-day remand.
During police interrogation, Tushar admitted that although he and Babu traveled to Dhaka together in the same bus, Babu got down from the vehicle in Kuril Biswa Road area in the capital, said Officer-in-Charge of Phulbaria Police Station Sheikh Kabirul Islam.
Tushar was later released on bail on April 1 and the case was transferred to Detective Branch (DB) of police, said the OC.
On suspicion, a team of DB police arrested Tushar on Tuesday in another murder case. During primary interrogation, Tushar confessed to killing Babu following an altercation over love affair and dumped the body at Keshoreganj Bazar.
Tushar's friend Al Amin was also arrested in this connection, said detectives.
