Abducted boy rescued in Ctg

Police yesterday rescued the minor son of a rickshaw-puller from Feni, six days after his abduction from Chittagong.
The victim was Md Mehedi Hasan Al-Amin, 5, son of Md Mizu Ahmed of Chowdhury Nagar area under Bayezid Police Station in the port city.
Police also detained the abductors -- Sohagh Hossain, 20, and Md Sanaullah, 28, from Chittagong on Tuesday night and Saiful Islam, 18, from Feni early yesterday.
Sohagh planned the incident, and in collusion with the other detainees, abducted Al-Amin from in front of his residence at Chowdhury Nagar around 2:30pm on October 25, said Officer-in-Charge (OC) Sheikh Md Nasir Uddin of Bayezid Police Station.
After the abduction, they demanded Tk 1 lakh as ransom from Mizu Ahmed over mobile phone on October 27, the eid day, said the OC.
Mizu, a rickshaw-puller, gave Sohagh Tk 3,000 on that day, OC Nasir said.
“As instructed by Sohagh, I kept Tk 3,000 at a place in Chandra Nagar area under Bayezid Police Station,” said the father. “But Sohagh demanded at least Tk 12,000 more to get my boy back,” Mizu said, “or they would kill Al-Amin.”
Later, Mizu filed a case under Women and Children Repression Prevention Act with the police station on October 28, said the OC.
After receiving information, police detained the trio from different areas, the OC said. On information from the detainees, the law enforcers rescued the boy around 6:00am yesterday from the custody of detained Saiful at Roghunath village in Daganbhuiyan upazila of Feni.
Asked about the motive behind the abduction, Sohagh, the mastermind, told the Daily Star that they abducted the minor boy only for money.
