2 JCD activists held on abduction charges, freed


The two Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD) members arrested Wednesday on abduction charges were released yesterday after police interrogation.

Amzad Hossain Jewel, acting president, and Samrat, activist, of Shahidullah Hall unit JCD, were the arrestees.

A group of JCD men abducted a businessman from a commercial blood bank at Chankhar Pool a week before the Eid and demanded Tk 50,000 in ransom.

Police later raided the hall and rescued the businessman but could not arrest any abductors.

Shahidullah Hall authorities expelled Jewel from the hall.
