<i>Abducted boy yet to be rescued</i>
A 15-year-old boy, who was allegedly abducted from Jamalganj upazila about three and a half months ago, is yet to be rescued.
Police and local sources said Tareque Miah Tipu, son of Dilfar Ali of Chandbari village and a student of class VIII of Ganiganj High School in the upazila, was “kidnapped” on September 27 last year.
Though police arrested four people, including one of his friends, and recovered his mobile phone, they could not rescue the boy.
Sources said Tareque went out of his residence after taking breakfast on the day and never returned home.
After two days, the alleged kidnappers sent a message through Tareque's mobile to his niece asking the victim's family to go to a certain place on September 30 with Tk 1 lakh to buy his freedom.
But the abductors did not turn up although the family members went there with the ransom money. Instead they sent another text message on the day asking them to go to another place with Tk 1.5 lakh for the release of Tareque.
However, the kidnappers neither came to the place for ransom money nor released Tareque.
Later, the victim's mother Rehena Begum filed a case on October 7 in this connection.
Contacted, officer in-charge of Jamalganj police station Alam Khan said they extracted some 'important' information from the arrestees.
He said Tareque would be rescued soon. “The main criminals will also be arrested,” he added.
