Jamal's family doubts fresh ransom letter
Staff Correspondent, Ctg
The family of abducted Chittagong magnate Jamal Uddin Ahmed Chowdhury yesterday doubted the senders of a letter demanding a hefty ransom for his release while police said they were scanning it. Chittagong Metropolitan Police Commissioner SM Sabbir Ali said: "We are now trying to verify whether the letter came from the real abductors. We'll take due efforts to rescue Jamal." Talking to The Daily Star, Jamal's wife said: "My husband was not released earlier although we paid Tk 25 lakh through police. We're doubtful whether the letter came from the abductors." "We're at a loss now." Jamal's family received the letter, posted to Chittagong Chamber of Commerce and Industry office, on Sunday with a fresh ransom demand of Tk 20 lakh. The senders of the letter asked the family to place the ransom on a culvert near a dormitory of Bangladesh Agriculture University in Mymensingh after December I midnight.
