Abducted youth rescued


Police yesterday rescued a youth from Zirani in Savar 31 hours into his abduction.

Police said Zahurul Islam along with his accomplices kidnapped Miron, 25, from his North Badda house at around 4:00pm Wednesday and demanded Tk 50,000 from his uncle Shahidul Islam, business partner of Zahurul.

Acting on a tip off, a team of Badda police raided a house in Zirani at around 1:30am and rescued Miron.

Police also arrested alleged kidnappers Sohel Rana, Masud Rana and Zakaria Shikder.

Police suspect Zahurul and his men abducted Miron as a sequel to a business dispute with Shahidul.
